Brendan Rodgers' side fell behind in the first half before the Nigerian equalised after the break. FMTNews LeicesterCity KelechiIheanacho
LEICESTER: Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to keep Leicester in contention for a place in the League Cup final as the Nigerian striker’s late goal earned a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
But the last team to beat Rodgers in a domestic knockout competition were Villa in the FA Cup semifinal in 2014-15 when he was Liverpool manager. Leicester last won the competition in 2000, beating Villa in the semifinals that year, and they were well on top at the start. He seized Marvelous Nakamba’s wayward header before testing Orjan Nyland, then saw his low drive blocked by Villa’s keeper moments later.
Jack Grealish’s inswinging freekick found Ezri Konsa and the Villa defender headed against the bar from inside the six-yard box.
