Leicester Boss Claude Puel Rues 'Harsh' Carabao Cup Exit After Penalty Shootout Loss to Man City

Leicester manager Claude Puel said his side's Carabao Cup exit to Manchester City was harsh, after the Foxes crashed out of the competition on penalties.

Leicester gave themselves a chance of progression when Marc Albrighton levelled after Kevin De Bruyne's opener, but James Maddison, Christian Fuchs and Caglar Soyuncu all missed their penalties to gift Pep Guardiola's side a semi-final spot.

Puel said, as quoted by Sky Sports: "It's always harsh to lose on penalties, especially for the second time to the same team.

"But we played a complete game with a good structure and organisation and I think we deserved to come back and equalise.
