"Great credit should go to the players, the personality in the second-half was there, the intensity was there. The speed of our game and mobility was better in the second-half and we looked very good going forwards and scored two good goals. We needed more mobility and rotation to create more space on the field." It was maybe a bit of a slow start but we showed that resilience, togetherness and that quality to win the game. I'm so happy for the supporters, who gave us great support on the evening. "The first-half, the guys worked hard but we were too slow in the tempo of our game. For us, we're so young in it.

Sometimes we don't make it easy for ourselves, but the level of our game in the second-half was outstanding. And it was another Rodgers substitute who played a key role in their equaliser. The build-up was too ponderous. He's stopping all the counter attacks by sprinting!

A late effort from Ricardo Pereira completed a dramatic turnaround as Leicester reached their first European semi-final.

A minute later Maddison curled a shot wide that Mvogo clambered low to tip round a post but his desire to make the difference did not end there, converting the substitute Ayoze Pérez’s pullback before Pereira capped the comeback.

A PSV supporter threw his beer towards Maddison as the midfielder was mobbed by his teammates and Brendan Rodgers was all smiles when Pereira sealed victory with two minutes to spare.
