It was Jamie Vardy who grabbed the potentially crucial away goal but nobody played a more pivotal role in keeping alive Leicester City’s UEFA Champions League hopes last night than Kasper Schmeichel.
The goalkeeper stood strong with series of fine saves – including an early penalty stop from Joaquín Correa – when Leicester looked in danger of being swamped by Sevilla. If that was not enough, he could also be seen venturing out of his box to issue instructions to team-mates, underlining his authority in the Leicester dressing room. And you know what? He loved every minute.
