Morgan’s and Albrighton’s goals had put the Foxes 3-2 ahead on aggregate but the Spanish team needed just one goal to send the match into extra time. Pushing for the equaliser, Nasri got into a clash of heads with Vardy and saw his second yellow of the night.
Despite going one man down Sevilla kept pushing for the away goal but N’Zonzi failed to capitalise on the penalty. The visitors then earned a subsequent free-kick in a good area but a foul on Ndidi saw referee blowing the whistle, to which Sampaoli reacted angrily and was then sent to the stands.
This is the second time in this year’s Champions League campaign that the Argentine has been sent off for dissent. He was also sent off in Sevilla’s last home match of the group stage, against Juventus, following which he was seen sitting in the stands in the matches against Lyon and the first leg against Leicester.
