Away to rejuvenated Aston Villa on Saturday, Riyad Mahrez lost a penalty kick, but Leicester City still went back to the top of the English Premier League table with a 1-1 draw.
The Foxes' fairytale showed no sign of losing any allure as they went ahead at Villa Park with a 28th-minute Shinji Okazaki goal, confirmed with the aid of technology after goalkeeper Mark Bunn had clawed the ball back from beyond the line.
Leicester were awarded a penalty five minutes later for Aly Cissokho's handball but Mahrez, one of the stars of their extraordinary season, struck a tame spot kick straight down the middle that Bunn saved with his feet.
Bottom club Villa, fresh from some respite in their wretched season following the midweek 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace, produced a much-improved second half performance sealed by Rudy Gestede's 76th-minute equaliser.
Leicester City face some tough games coming up in the league, home to Stoke City and Liverpool respectively.
