Leicester City suffered a blow in the 2015-16 Premier League title race on Sunday, as the Foxes only managed a 2-2 draw in a controversial clash with West Ham United.

Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for the hosts but then got sent off for diving. The Hammers came from behind to grab the lead through Andy Carroll and Aaron Cresswell. However, Leonardo Ulloa salvaged a point for the hosts from the penalty spot in injury time after a questionable award.

Elsewhere, Liverpool continued their good form with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth, while Arsenal slumped to a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Sunday Recap

Leicester City's English striker Jamie Vardy (R) reacts after referee Jonathan Moss (L) showed Vardy his second yellow card for simulation to send him off during the English Premier League football match between Leicester City and West Ham United at King

Vardy and referee Jon Moss stole the spotlight on Sunday. The striker handed the Foxes the lead after just 18 minutes with a clever finish at the far post, but he then received his marching orders for a perceived dive after half-time.

The decision was a controversial one, as Vardy and Angelo Ogbonna tangled inside the box, but the forward appeared to create the contact himself.

BBC Sport’s Phil McNulty agreed with Moss' decision to hand the England international an early shower:

West Ham pushed for an equaliser and came close on several occasions, hitting the woodwork multiple times. After 84 minutes, the official made another controversial decision, handing West Ham a penalty after Wes Morgan appeared to hold Winston Reid inside the box.

Star golfer Rory McIlroy was not impressed:

Carroll stepped up and fired his team level, handing all momentum to his side in the process, and Cresswell completed the comeback with a superb volley two minutes later.

That seemed to be the end of it, but Moss made one more big call deep in injury time, handing Leicester a soft penalty of their own. Ulloa made no mistake, rescuing a point for the Foxes.

Leicester City's Argentinian striker Leonardo Ulloa celebrates scoring their second goal from the penalty spot to equalise 2-2 during the English Premier League football match between Leicester City and West Ham United at King Power Stadium in Leicester,

Earlier, Leicester fans had been furious the hosts weren't awarded a penalty when Ogbonna almost wrestled Robert Huth to the ground. Overall, Moss had a dreadful afternoon, and the Times' Henry Winter didn't hide his feelings:

ESPN FC's Craig Burley couldn't help himself:

While Vardy's red card led to two dropped points for the Foxes, Ulloa came away in a positive mood, per the Premier League's official Twitter account:

If Tottenham Hotspur beat Stoke City on Monday, Leicester's lead in the standings will be down to just five points. While the Foxes still sit in the driver's seat for the title, the loss of top scorer Vardy will sting and could prove decisive in the title race.

Elsewhere, Liverpool survived a late scare against Bournemouth, as Joshua King pulled one back for the Cherries to set up a tense final few minutes.

Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge had given the visitors a deserved two-goal lead, but Bournemouth held their own in the second half. King looked lively throughout the afternoon and deserved his goal in the 90th minute, but it was too little, too late, as manager Jurgen Klopp's troops closed up shop defensively.

The win moves Liverpool into eighth place in the standings, two points behind sixth-placed West Ham, with one match in hand. 

Yannick Bolasie scored a late equaliser for Crystal Palace to all but end Arsenal's title dreams with a 1-1 draw. Per Squawka Football, the result continued a dreadful pattern for the hosts:

Alexis Sanchez gave the Gunners the lead, but once again, the defence couldn't keep a clean sheet, destroying Arsenal's title hopes in the process. With Manchester United quickly making up ground in the standings, the team might have to start worrying about a top-four finish at this rate.

Saturday Recap

Manchester City cruised to a 3-0 win over Chelsea on Saturday, thanks to Sergio Aguero's three goals, while rivals Manchester United kept pace in the battle for the top four, beating Aston Villa 1-0.

Marcus Rashford scored the only goal in the win, which ended Villa's slim hopes of avoiding the drop, per Sky Sports News HQ.

Sunderland fared much better, as they beat Norwich City 3-0 to close the gap with the Canaries to just a single point. Newcastle United also won, beating Swansea City 3-0, and the Magpies suddenly sit just three points behind Norwich, setting up a tense battle in the final weeks of the season.

Everton and Southampton shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw, and Watford beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0.
