Both sides scored from the spot as Leicester and Peterborough played out a 1-1 draw at the Walkers Stadium.
Penalties for each side decide result at Walkers Stadium
Both sides converted penalties as Leicester and Peterborough shared the spoils in an exciting Championship clash at the Walkers Stadium.
Darren Ferguson's side were dominant in the first half and could have had a comfortable lead as the teams headed into the break.
Posh did score first as George Boyd slotted home from 12 yards but the Foxes fought back and claimed a point when Matty Fryatt also scored from the spot.
Both sides were automatically promoted from League One in May, with the Leicester beating Posh to the title.
But while Leicester have settled into life back in the second tier well, Peterborough have struggled, equalling a club record for the most games without a win at the start of a season.
Early Pressure
Posh went seven games without a win at the beginning of the 1988-89 season and have now matched that despite being on top for much of the first-half.
The visitors made all the early running with Boyd making his presence felt and should have taken the lead when midfielder Lee Frecklington shot narrowly wide.
Aaron Mclean was giving Leicester centre-back Wayne Brown a torrid time and was awarded a penalty in the 32nd minute when he turned Brown and the veteran shoved him to the deck.
Boyd stepped up and steered his left-footed strike confidently into the corner to give the visitors the advantage.
The lead was thoroughly deserved but the goal provided the spark Leicester needed to bring themselves back into the game.
Steve Howard had a header cleared off the line within seconds of the restart and Fryatt then shot wide when clean through on goal.
Denied
Forward Paul Gallagher was then twice denied by goalkeeper Joe Lewis in the dying moments of the first half before Pearson replaced Brown at the break.
Aleksandar Tunchev and Andy King came on as Pearson changed the shape of his side and the changes paid off instantly when Fryatt scored from the penalty spot in the 49th minute.
Fryatt beat the offside trap and found Gallagher in the area, where the Scottish player produced a wonderful chip which beat Lewis but hit the crossbar.
Right-back Robbie Neilson reacted first to put the ball back across the goal where Tom Williams was adjudged to have blocked with his hand and referee Russell Booth pointed to the spot.
Fryatt confidently dispatched the kick low into the corner for his sixth goal of the season.
Steve Howard and Gallagher were both guilty of poor efforts as the Foxes pushed forward in search of a winner while Craig Mackail-Smith cracked a 20-yard volley inches wide at the other end.
But neither attack could match the intensity of the opening period and the game eventually petered out into a 1-1 draw.
