Read Time:39 Second
Leicester City have reached the Champions League quarter-finals with a stunning 2-0 victory over Sevilla.
Goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton proved enough for the Foxes to progress 3-2 on aggregate in a game with saw Samir Nasri sent off and Steven N’Zonzi miss a late penalty which would have taken the tie to extra time.
Caretaker Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare has now recorded three successive wins, and the result takes the Foxes into the unknown where the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich await.
Sevilla’s defeat represents the first time that they have lost a two-legged tie in Europe in 13 attempts, and they will regard this as a huge opportunity missed after taking a 2-1 lead into Tuesday’s fixture.
