PSV vs Leicester LIVE: Europa Conference League result and final score after late Pereira and Maddison goals
Follow live updates as Leicester aim to reach their first European semi-final in Eindhoven
Leicester reached the first European semi-final in the club’s history after a dramatic late comeback at PSV Eindhoven secured their progress to the Europa Conference League last four.
After a 0-0 draw in last week’s first leg at the King Power Stadium, Eran Zahavi gave the hosts the lead in an open contest, before Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka missed chances for Brendan Rodgers’ side.
But James Maddison pulled the visitors level, just as the Foxes were beginning to lose hope, before Ricardo Pereira scored the winner and secured a famous night for the club. They will now play either Roma or Bodo/Glimt in the semi-finals.
West Ham will now look to join them in reaching a European semi-final, as they face Lyon for a place in the Europa League last four:
Lyon 0 - 3 West Ham (1-4 agg)
75 mins: Eintracht Frankfurt have scored a third against Barcelona at the Camp Nou and it looks as though they’ll be West Ham’s opponents in the semi-finals.
Unless, of course, there is a remarkable turnaround in either game over these last 15 minutes.
Lyon 0 - 3 West Ham (1-4 agg)
72 mins: Craig Dawson takes a knock to the head and lands awkwardly after going up for an aerial ball. The game stops while he receives some treatment but he seems to be okay to play on. He’s been top quality for West Ham and will absolutely want to finish the game out.

68 mins: Save! Lyon are giving it a go. Malo Gusto drives the ball through the inside right channel and lets fly from just outside the box. He strikes it well and directs the ball across the box. Alphonse Areola leaps to his right and palms the ball wide of goal!

65 mins: Chance! Tomas Soucek punts a long diagonal over to the left wing where Pablo Fornals brings it under control and drives into the box. He first looks to pull it back for a teammate before a block sends the ball rolling back to him. On the second attempt he goes for goal and sees that effort stopped as well.
Lyon 0 - 3 West Ham (1-4 agg)
62 mins: Chance! Emerson swings a cross into the box that Paqueta nods across to Dembele. He chests the ball down and gets lucky as it comes back to him off Rice. He shoots on the turn but misses the target with an effort that sails well wide of goal.

58 mins: Declan Rice wins West Ham a throw in high up the pitch that Vladimir Coufal chucks into the box. Fornals wins it and nods the ball to Antonio who tries to control the ball and shoot on the spin but it runs away from him and Lyon clear the danger.

55 mins: Michail Antonio has done a solid job up top for West Ham - as he so often does - he’s provided them a target point when they need to clear their lines and has held the ball up brilliantly to get the Hammers back up the pitch.
The zip to Lyon’s passing seems to be ebbing away.
Lyon 0 - 3 West Ham (1-4 agg)
51 mins: Pablo Fornals swings a corner into the middle of the box for West Ham but Pollersbeck comes out to claim it this time. Another goal will kill off this game and the Hammers look in the mood to go and get it.
GOAL! Lyon 0 - 3 West Ham (1-4 agg) - Bowen, 48'⚽️
48 mins: West Ham are running away with it! Declan Rice sends a clearance up the pitch to Michail Antonio who brings the ball down nicely. He lays it off to Manuel Lanzini who plays a first time pass through the lines to send Jarrod Bowen sprinting into the box on the counter. He’s only got the goalkeeper to beat and slots it to Julian Pollersbeck’s right, finds the bottom corner and gives the Hammers a comfortable cushion.
Second half: Lyon 0 - 2 West Ham (1-3 agg)
Kick off: The winner of this quarter-final will face either Eintracht Frankfurt or Barcelona in the next round. As it stands Frankfurt are leading 3-1 on aggregate in that tie.
Lyon make a couple of changes at the break with Romain Faivre and Tanguy Ndombele hooked off. Lucas Paqueta and Tete replace them.
