Leicester visit Southampton in the Premier League, live on Saturday Night Football; kick off 5.30pm. The rebound, though, fell kindly for Praet who should have done better than fire straight at Pears. Amartey's attempt to play out was reckless and ill-advised as his pass was cut out by the forward, who arrowed towards goal and beat Iversen from the edge of the box. Not that Rovers were undeserving winners. Blackburn had grown into the game as the Foxes' threat waned and the haphazard nature of the hosts' defending was a serious cause for concern. Match report as Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics capitalised on some poor Leicester defending to see Blackburn through to the FA Cup quarter-finals; Kelechi Iheanacho pulled a goal back for the hosts; Brendan Rodgers marked his 200th game in charge with the Foxes

Blackburn Rovers are through the FA Cup quarter-finals after beating Leicester City.

We won the game on the pitch and we won the game in the stands as well." "It was an unbelievable night for the club," Tomasson said. "That is part of football but the lads showed good spirit, fighting until the end. "They beat Tottenham 4-1 a few games ago. Tomasson was delighted to send them home happy and lavished praise on his squad. It was, without doubt, Rovers' best performance since Tomasson came into the club.

Goals on either side of halftime by Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics gave the Foxes a huge hill to climb. Substitute and resident King of the FA Cup Kelechi ...

However, “chaos” was our best chance to get back in the match (as opposed to “trying to break down a packed defence”), and City got one back on 65’. It would have been three almost immediately afterwards as Amartey was again beaten by Szmodics, but the extremely busy Iversen came to the rescue and turned the ball around the post with his knee. The rest of the half was marked by sloppy passes, players not on the same page as each other, and Rovers lying deep and daring a Maddison- and Tielemans-free Leicester side to break them down. For the rest of is, it was tough to watch. Instead of shooting, he squared it for Tyrhys Dolan who turned it goalwards, but Iversen made a spectacular save when you were sure the back of the net was going to bulge. The big man slid it to Szmodics in the middle, who somehow dribbled directly through Ricardo and then Amartey (not around them; I meant what I said), and slotted home from close range. In our tradition of failing to heed warning klaxons, Amartey was not to be denied. The midfielder bore down on Iversen and his shot looked goal bound, but the Great Dane 2.0 stuck out a leg and made the save. His shot cleared a sea of legs but Pears did well again to make the second save in quick succession. The Lancashire side had a great chance to take the lead on 17’ when Amartey was caught in possession on the right flank. The Foxes came out of the gates with an intermittently effective high press, signalling intent to keep the Championship side under pressure. Substitute and resident King of the FA Cup Kelechi Iheanacho got one back, but City couldn’t find an equaliser to keep their cup run alive.

Leicester City crashed out the FA Cup with a home defeat to Championship club Blackburn Rovers. Humiliating: here is how circus-like defending failed us.

Giving the ball away for multiple opportunities on goal, with these poorly timed and poorly executed attempts to pass the ball. He lost possession 15 times, and would at least try to win it back or prevent any dangerous opportunity coming from it: this would often not lead to anything beneficial for LCFC. Meanwhile, the Ghanaian centre-back is a positional nightmare. He put in challenges after challenges, tackles, after tackles, and would always attempt to rectify any mistake. Personally, I had felt the English left-back and Portuguese beast Ricardo Pereira deserved an opportunity to play. I felt severely let down by individual players, and the stats show it.
