Leicester lost ground on their promotion rivals after drawing 1-1 with Portsmouth as John Swift's second-half goal cancelled out Aaron Ramsey's opener at the King Power Stadium.

The home side took the lead after 26 minutes courtesy of Ramsey's instinctive finish from Abdul Fatawu's cross from the right as the on-loan Burnley midfielder scored his first goal for the club.

However, Portsmouth improved after the break and drew level in the 58th minute when Swift started and finished a counter-attack to score his maiden goal in Pompey colours.

The draw leaves the fourth-placed Foxes five points behind leaders Coventry, with the Foxes held to a draw for the fifth time in six matches while Portsmouth stretched their unbeaten run to three games.
