Jamie Vardy’s strike keeps Leicester in the hunt

Sevilla 2 Leicester 1: Jamie Vardy and Kasper Schmeichel kept Leicester’s Champions League hopes alive as they escaped from Sevilla still eyeing the quarter-finals.

Striker Vardy stunned the hosts with a second-half goal — his first in 748 minutes — as the Foxes fell to a gutsy 2-1 last-16 defeat in Spain.

It came after Schmeichel had saved an early Joaquin Correa penalty and gave Claudio Ranieri’s side a crucial away goal after they were outplayed by the hosts in the first leg.
