Leicester City made an astonishing performance, eliminating the League Europa winners Sevilla from The Champions League. The Foxes have recently been very impressive, recording 3 consecutive victories after the appointment of Craig Shakespeare for the manager of the team.
The Foxes won 2-0 against Sevilla at The King Power Stadium. Moreover, they totally outplayed the Spaniards! Leicester City looked the way like they won The Premier League. The captain Wes Morgan opened the score in the 27th minute, giving Leicester City the vital lead!
To continue with, Sevilla tried their best to score an away goal, but The Foxes were simply better. Shortly after the break Sergio Escudero was unlucky and hit the bar from a long distance. A couple of minutes later, Marc Albrighton doubled the score with a good shot from inside the box. This goal gave Leicester City more confidence and The Foxes started to use their most dangerous weapon – the counter attacks.
A quarter of an hour before the end of the game Sevilla put Leicester City under pressure, but Samir Nasri was sent off for his second yellow card of the night. The Frenchman did something unforgivable, hitting Jamie Vardy. However, the visitors had no choice but to attack and they were very close to equalize. In the 80th minute the referee awarded them with a penalty.
Kasper Schmeichel was again the big hero for Leicester City, saving Steven N’Zonzi’s shot from the spot. That was his second penalty save in the battle between these two clubs. After this crucial moment of the game, The Foxes could even score their third goal, but they missed a couple of chances in front of Sevilla’s goal.
In conclusion, that was one of the greatest nights in Leicester City’s history. The fans were celebrating all night long. They can’t wait to see Leicester’s next opponent in The Champions League!
