James Verdy made history on Saturday when his Leicester City engaged Burnley.
The goal king scored an own goal, leaving his team endanfered.
Yet, he bounced back to knock two into the enemies’ net, thus saving his club.
With the duo, Burnley were therefore denied their first Premier League win.
The visitors took the lead when Leicester striker Vardy attempted to clear a Burnley corner at the near post, but his glancing header beat goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to find the back of the net, Reuters reports.
After missing two opportunities to score in the first half, Vardy redeemed himself with an equaliser.
This was when he ran into space to receive Youri Tielemans’ pass and beat Nick Pope with a low, angled shot that found the bottom corner.
Burnley reclaimed the lead three minutes later when Ivorian midfielder Maxwel Cornet volleyed home from a Matej Vydra cross, giving Schmeichel no chance of making a save as he dived to the right.
However, with five minutes left in the game, Vardy made the breakthrough again.
This was when he used his pace to entice Pope into no man’s land before rounding the keeper and side-footing the ball into an empty net from a narrow angle to make it 2-2.
Chris Wood nearly won it for Burnley at the end with a stoppage-time goal but it was disallowed for offside.
The result leaves Sean Dyche’s side in the relegation zone in 19th with two points from six games while Leicester are 12th
