Kelechi Iheanacho's late goal spared Leicester City's blushes and secured a 1-1 draw at home to Aston Villa in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg, leaving the tie in the balance.
Brendan Rodgers' Foxes went into the match on the back of three successive wins across all competitions, but they struggled to make the most of their superiority in Wednesday's clash, with Iheanacho's late equaliser the best they could muster.
For all of Leicester's first-half dominance, Villa were the more effective in the final third, opening the scoring just before the half-hour mark through Frederic Guilbert and then going agonisingly close to a second when Ezri Konsa was denied by the crossbar.
