Jeff Hendrick came off the bench to help struggling Sheffield Wednesday snatch a stoppage-time equaliser against Championship leaders Leicester in a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough.

The equaliser came in the third minute of time added on when the ball was lofted into the area and Callum Paterson's cushioned header fell perfectly into the path of Hendrick who finished with ease.
