Jeffrey Schlupp and his Leicester City team mates missed out on a pizza offer from manager Claudio Ranieri after conceding twice in their English Premier League game against Stoke City on Saturday.

The Leicester boss promised his players pizza ahead of the game if they could keep a clean sheet.

Ranieri said prior to the Stoke City game:
“I told them, if you keep a clean sheet, I'll buy pizza for everybody. I think they're waiting for me to offer a hot dog too.”

Leicester City however shared the spoils with home side Stoke City on Saturday in a four-goal thriller.

Manager Claudio Ranieri will take comfort from the final results as his players came back from two goals down to draw 2-2.

Bojan Krkic and Jonathan Walters gave home side Stoke City a 2-0 advantage going into the first half interval.

Leicester recovered in the second half to draw level with goals from Riyad Mahrez [penalty] and Jamie Vardy sealing the deal for the 2-2 draw.

Schlupp played the entire duration of the game receiving a yellow card booking in the 81 minute.
