West Ham United have come from behind to hold Leicester City to a 1-1 draw at the halfway stage of their League Cup tie this evening.

The Foxes took the lead in the sixth minute when Joe Dodoo latched onto a loose ball inside the box and fired a strike past Adrian.

They came close to scoring a second moments later as Marc Albrighton's free kick was headed off the line by Andy Carroll.

However, the visitors equalised in the 26th minute when Mauro Zarate crashed a strike into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

On the stroke of half time, Dodoo almost restored the home side's lead after being found by Albrighton, but he could only hammer his strike into the side-netting as the teams headed into the dressing rooms on level terms.
