#3 Leicester's away goal keeps their European dream alive

SEVILLE, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY 22: Jamie Vardy of Leicester City celebrates after scoring his side's first goal during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg match between Sevilla FC and Leicester City at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on February 22, 2017 in Seville, Spain.

Sevilla dominated the Foxes from the minute go and put Leicester on the back-foot with a plethora of chances. Kasper Schmeichel literally saved Leicester from ending the tie in the first half as Jorge Sampaoli's men dismantled the English champions with well-crafted chances.

Pablo Sarabia and Joaquin Correa gave Sevilla a well deserved 2-0 lead and the Spanish giants were already dreaming of the quarterfinals.

Then a sight that was so peculiar in the Premier League last season reemerged as Jamie Vardy scored for Leicester in the 73rd minute to give Foxes a lifeline to take something with them to the King Power stadium for the second leg. An away goal can prove to be the catalyst for Leicester's resurgence after a rather disappointing defence of their league title.

On the other hand, Sevilla were left to rue their missed chances whereas Vardy scored a typical Leicester goal which was reminiscent of last season's exploits which open the way for one last miracle from Ranieri's wonder boys.
