Leicester book historic semi-final spot as late fightback floors PSV ... (The Guardian)

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. Iheanacho hooked a clever ball over the top of the PSV defence and Daka raced through one on one with the goalkeeper Yvon Mvogo but the striker, perhaps put off by Teze’s determination to make life difficult, dropped his shot wide. 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.

PSV 1-2 Leicester (agg 1-2): Foxes reach first ever European semi ... (Sky Sports)

PSV Eindhoven vs Leicester City. UEFA Europa Conference League Quarter-finals. 5:45pm, Thursday 14th April 2022. Philips Stadion.

"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. For most of the Eindhoven evening, Leicester were dominant in possession but lacked composure in their final ball. 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!

Latest Leicester City news as we take a look at how the UEFA competition is shaping up ahead of the second legs of the quarter-final.

Leicester City reach first European semi-final thanks to second-half ... (Telegraph.co.uk)

Leicester City's recent history has been defined by upsetting the odds and this was a glorious triumph for Brendan Rodgers and his players, as they reached ...

Maddison to whip in with his right foot...and Evans flicked it on at the near post and it was heading on target but flicked off Fofana and over. Good composure from Fofana in the middle of the park, before Evans reads the ball well to intercept a pass towards Gotze. No big chances for either side so far, but PSV float a cross not far over the head of Zahavi. Leicester get another chance to attack and Dewsbury-Hall wins a free-kick close to the corner flag. PSV again strain to deal with a Leicester set-piece but get away with it, before Gakpo wins a free-kick for the home team. Things opened up for Leicester on the break but Barnes took too long to make a decision. Leicester stroking the ball around well in midfield with Maddison and Tielemans but Pereira's pass was too heavy. Gakpo should have released the ball to Zahavi wide left but the ball eventually finds the striker. Leicester's third sub is Ayoze Perez for Kelechi Iheanacho. Leicester starting to build pressure now, but they look a little shot-shy and toothless around the edge of the box. Then Gotze plays a lovely one-two with Veerman and is hacked down by Castagne at the expense of a booking. Excellent defending from Fofana to get across on the cover and get there before Zahavi and snuff out a counter. Excellent interplay down the right involving Pereira and Perez, and he substitute pulled the ball back from the bar-line to Maddison who slammed his shot into the roof of the net. Tielemans tries to make up for his mistake by taking a shot on from long range and a tight angle, which is skewed high, wide and handsome.

PSV vs Leicester LIVE: Europa Conference League result and final ... (The Independent)

Follow live updates as Leicester aim to reach their first European semi-final in Eindhoven.

Lyon get the game underway but it’s won immediately by the Hammers who boot it down the left wing and play Pablo Fornals in behind. Aouar tries to feed Karl Tako Ekambi into the box but the forward loses the ball and West Ham run it clear. It bounces off Moussa Dembele and drops to Houssem Aouar whose shot gets blocked before Craig Dawson scrambles it clear. It could be a long night for them if they can’t get hold of the ball. It gets knocked down and bounces kindly for Pablo Fornals who fires a low shot straight at Julian Pollersbeck in goal. Ekambi squares it across the box and finds Dembele but his effort is blocked by Dawson.

'Home Advantage Could Play A Part In Eindhoven' (Leicester City)

Leicester City's UEFA Europa Conference League Quarter-Final with PSV Eindhoven is finely poised ahead of the second leg, according to Michael Statham, ...

His rotation policy may well be that he needs to have his best players on for the whole 90 minutes for a change, but he has got some weapons on the bench. They did in the Dutch Super Cup at the beginning of the season, but in the league, they’ve lost both of their games against Ajax. Therefore, they’ve got something to prove. It’s just a different style of play, they are really on the front foot and put a lot of teams under pressure. He will again play in the second leg and be a difficult one to get past. They just have so much of the ball at home, they really dominate the possession, and they play a wide game. “I think PSV saw it, after they couldn’t pinch a goal in the second half, as a great result.

Leicester score late double to stun PSV and reach Europa ... (Eurosport.co.uk)

Ricardo Pereira's goal two minutes from time secured victory for Leicester at PSV Eindhoven, sending them through to the Europa Conference League ...

Lookman and Perez almost combined for a winner, minutes before Lookman and Daka were involved in the move leading to Pereira's historic moment. Even with England's log jam of forwards, he must be pushing close to a recall given his recent form. Rodgers substitutions changed the game: Leicester were second best in the first half and with their in-form opposition a goal up a comeback seemed a long way back. He had a couple of other good efforts, one cleared off the line and another forcing a fine stop from Yvon Mvogo, before the goal which he took with aplomb. 84' GREAT STOP FROM MVOGO Lookman crosses from close in on the by-line and Perez gets a touch towards goal but the keeper pushes over the bar. However, it was the third substitution, a controversial one, bringing on Perez for spearhead Kelechi Iheanacho which made the biggest difference.
