But the best chance of the first period fell to Danny Simpson. On his 100th appearance for the Club, he was denied a maiden City goal after Boaz Myhill kept his half-volley out.
The visitors opened the scoring after the break when Nacer Chadli’s strike from 30 yards gave his side the lead with 63 minutes on the clock.
The Foxes put their guests under considerable pressure in the latter stages, however, and it eventually told when Mahrez combined with Algeria team-mate Islam Slimani to level the scores.
