Jamie Vardy saw an injury-time header flash just wide of the post as Leicester City were held to a goalless draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

The Foxes striker came on as a second-half substitute on his return after surgery last month.

He combined with fellow substitute Marc Albrighton late on, but his header glanced wide of Rui Patricio’s goal, as a sterile match ended 0-0.
