<p>The England striker netted his 16th goal of the season as last term&#8217;s Premier League title winners finished 12th after a turbulent year.</p>
<p>Junior Stanislas opened the scoring for Bournemouth after just 57 seconds but the Cherries could not hang on and they needed Ryan Allsop to again deny Vardy, who also had a goal disallowed for offside.</p>
<p>The draw sealed ninth place for Bournemouth &#8211; their highest league position in their 118-year history.</p>
<p>Leicester&#8217;s attention now turns to resolving the future of manager Craig Shakespeare, with talks expected this week over whether he will stay as boss beyond June.</p>
<p>Shakespeare signed a deal until the end of the season when he replaced Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked with the Foxes in relegation danger, in February.</p>
<p>Owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha offered no hints over their plans in an interview in the club&#8217;s programme, but he will at least be heartened by Leicester&#8217;s fightback after conceding so early.</p>
<p>Shakespeare wanted a response following Thursday&#8217;s 6-1 thumping by Tottenham but was left shell-shocked after just 57 seconds when Bournemouth took the lead.</p>
<p>Lys Mousset turned Christian Fuchs inside out to burst into the area and continued his run after Ryan Fraser was taken out by Danny Simpson.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old&#8217;s shot then deflected into the path of Stanislas to tap in from 10 yards for his third goal in three games.</p>

<p>There was little instant response from Leicester, with Bournemouth content to keep the ball which forced the Foxes to chase shadows.</p>
<p>But the Cherries&#8217; dominance was not rewarded with another goal, although Dan Gosling&#8217;s 25-yard drive drew a flying save out of Kasper Schmeichel after 25 minutes.</p>
<p>Mousset fired at Schmeichel as Bournemouth continued to dominate, although Allsop was finally called into action, saving Riyad Mahrez&#8217;s effort nine minutes before half-time.</p>
<p>It woke subdued Leicester up and they almost grabbed a leveller five minutes before the break when Yohan Benalouane&#8217;s shot deflected just wide and Islam Slimani nodded the resulting corner across goal.</p>
<p>Allsop then claimed the ball after it hit Gosing as Leicester finally got going and they made their growing momentum count six minutes after the break.</p>
<p>Vardy won the ball in midfield and laid it to Ben Chilwell, who crossed for Slimani to nod back for Vardy &#8211; who had continued his run &#8211; to bundle in at the far post.</p>
<p>The England man was then denied a second on the hour by the offside flag after stabbing in from close range as Leicester continued their improvement.</p>
<p>Gone was Bournemouth&#8217;s cool and Vardy had come alive, with Allsop needing to get a firm hand on his low 66th-minute effort before turning his header over.</p>
<p>The Cherries had wilted in the second half and were left hanging on, and Slimani missed a glorious chance with five minutes left, heading Mahrez&#8217;s free-kick wide with the goal gaping.</p>
