[h=3]LuaLua strike saves Seagulls[/h]5:14pm Saturday 6th April 2013 in Albion By Brian Owen
Kazenga LuaLua grabbed a late equaliser for Albion – and kept them in the Championship play-off places.
The left-winger cut inside and fired home right-footed to salvage a 1-1 draw at home to impressive Leicester City.
His 88th-minute strike denied the visitors a win which would have sent them above Albion into sixth spot.
Leicester were arguably the more deserving of the three points.
Tomasz Kuszczak was the busier keeper in what was a nervy occasion at The Amex.
He somehow diverted a first-half Andy King shot on to the bar and produced further saves from both King and Jeff Schlupp.
Leicester went ahead in the 72nd minute when Matty James kept his cool in a chaotic penalty area to take the ball down and guide home a low shot as Albion made a mess of defending a long throw in.
Leo Ulloa had missed a great chance for Albion just two minutes before that after LuaLua crossed low.
Inigo Calderon had a first-half header hacked off the line by Danny Drinkwater.
But Albion fans were reasonably happy with a point at the end.
