Leicester City’s dream Champions League debut
continued as they reached the quarter-finals with a famous win against 10-man
Sevilla on Tuesday.
Trailing 2-1 from the first
leg, the reigning English Premier League champions went ahead at the King Power
Stadium through Wes Morgan’s close-range finish in the 27th minute.
Marc Albrighton then
gave the Foxes an aggregate lead in the 54th minute,
before Samir Nasri was sent off for a second yellow card in the 74th minute.
Steven N’Zonzi missed a
penalty kick that could have turned the game round, as Sevilla tried to take it
to extra time.
The News Agency of
Nigeria reports that the Foxes join Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia
Dortmund, Juventus and Real Madrid in Friday’s quarter-final draw.
