Leicester wins Saints shootout to book Man City clash
    2018-11-29  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

LEICESTER will face holder Manchester City in the League Cup quarterfinals after a 6-5 penalty shootout win over Southampton that was marred by a VAR row Tuesday.

In a match rearranged following the tragic death of Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in October, Claude Puel’s side was held to a 0-0 draw by struggling Southampton at the King Power Stadium.

But in the shootout, Manolo Gabbiadini’s effort was saved by Danny Ward before Nampalys Mendy bagged the winner for Leicester.

It was Leicester’s first home victory since Vichai’s helicopter crashed outside the club’s stadium just days before they were scheduled to face the Saints in the fourth round tie.

Leicester, which last won the League Cup in 2000, will host Premier League champions City on Dec. 18 for a place in the semi-finals.

Southampton is on a wretched run in the league, but Mark Hughes’ side came close to winning in normal time.

Nathan Redmond turned past Caglar Soyuncu and Danny Simpson on a mazy run into the penalty area and the Southampton winger’s shot struck the underside of the crossbar.

Southampton thought they had broken the deadlock when Redmond’s cross was finished off by Steven Davis, but the goal was ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee after Redmond was adjudged to have handled in the buildup.
