Champions League: Leicester City showed big heart, says Claudio Ranieri

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri praised his side's "big heart" after Jamie Vardy grabbed a potentially crucial away goal in their Champions League last 16 tie at Sevilla.

The Foxes were 2-0 down before Vardy scored for the first time since 10 December to give the Foxes an away goal in a 2-1 defeat.

The second leg at the King Power Stadium takes place on 14 March.

"We showed fight," Ranieri told BBC Radio 5 live.

"When we play with this character, the luck comes to your side. We have to keep going."

Floodgates to open for Vardy?
