Leicester's Chris Wood nets late goal to deny Huddersfield in FA Cup - The Guardian

Chris Wood earned Leicester an FA Cup fourth-round replay as his 82nd-minute goal denied managerless Huddersfield a deserved win.

Huddersfield dominated for large periods and led through Lee Novak's penalty but Wood, who bagged two goals in a 6-1 win over Town on New Year's Day, ensured the sides will meet again at the King Power Stadium.

Huddersfield had the better of the opening exchanges without creating any real chances but Peter Clarke should have put them ahead in the 11th minute. He got on the end of Oliver Norwood's corner but could only fire his header over the bar.

Martyn Waghorn had the first chance for Leicester as he turned well and unleashed a quick shot but his effort went wide.

Jordan Sinnott, making his full debut for Huddersfield, was making a good impression in midfield and found Novak in space but the striker scuffed his shot wide. The two combined again in first-half stoppage time as Sinnott linked with Novak on the edge of the box but Ritchie De Laet's challenge prevented the striker from getting a shot away.

Huddersfield's dominance continued at the start of the second half as some smart play from Jack Hunt allowed him to get a cross in but Novak's shot was blocked behind for a corner.

Kasper Schmeichel was called into action moments later as he made a smart save from James Vaughan's overhead kick .

Nigel Pearson was clearly unhappy with Leicester's attacking impetus and changed his strikeforce on the hour, with Wood and David Nugent replacing Jamie Vardy and Waghorn.

And the changes very nearly brought a quick result as Wood hit a stinging shot from the edge of the area which Alex Smithies did very well to turn around the post.

Sean Scannell was brought on for Sinnott, who had enjoyed an impressive debut, and he found Hunt with a raking pass. Hunt's cross found the lively Novak in the penalty area but his downward header was well saved by Schmeichel.

The substitute was making a real impact and had a hand in the opener as he beat four players before finding Hunt, who was felled by Lloyd Dyer in the penalty area. The referee, Anthony Taylor, had no doubts in awarding the penalty.

Novak stepped up and sent Schmeichel the wrong way with a firm spot-kick. Clarke then saw a header cleared off the line as Huddersfield continued to press but against the run of play Wood grabbed the equaliser. De Laet found Dyer, who deceived his man out wide and found Wood, who dispatched a clinical finish past Smithies.
