#5 Schmeichel steps up to the plate
Trending
Leicester City may be struggling in the Premier League, but their European season has been impressive. Not only did they win four games in the group stages, but also kept a clean sheet in each one of them, courtesy Kasper Schmeichel’s heroics between the sticks.
The Danish shot-stopper stepped up the plate once again as he put up another confident show and was one of the few bright lights for the visitors.
In the 14th minute, Schmeichel held his nerves to deny Joaquin Correa from 12 yards, but was helpless in the other two occasions when Sevilla scored. Regardless, he produced another stunning save midway through the tie when he stretched out to thwart Sergio Escudero, flashing the goalkeeping brilliance once exhibited by his father Peter Schmeichel.
