Japan’s Okazaki and Leicester teammates manage to come back from a first leg defeat to win 2-0 and qualify for the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. An impressive display from the English Champions saw them win 2-0 with goals from Captain Morgan (27′ minutes) and Mark Albrighton (54′ minutes).

Leicester’s astonishing League title win last season has seemed like a million miles away this season with their English Premier League form being abysmal and they have slipped close to the relegation zone.

Their League winning manager, Claudio Ranieri, was sacked 2 weeks ago and it has only been the Champions League which has shown them play with any of the passion which took them to the title last year.

Who knows where this win could take the ‘Foxes’ (Leicester’s nickname)? They managed to raise their game against Seville of Spain and deservedly win, albeit helped by a second yellow card which sent off Seville’s Nasri.
