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:
West Ham boss David Moyes issues warning to winking Lyon forward Moussa Dembele
West Ham boss David Moyes has told Lyon forward Moussa Dembele what goes around comes around.
Dembele was caught winking after he was brought down by Aaron Cresswell in the Europa League quarter-final first leg on Thursday.
The left-back was sent off after the referee deemed him to be denying a goalscoring opportunity and the Frenchman gave a wink, just as Cristiano Ronaldo did against England at the 2006 World Cup following Wayne Rooney’s dismissal.
Moyes reminded Dembele that fortunes can quickly change in football and pointed to Cresswell as evidence as his red card came just days after scoring a brilliant free-kick against Everton at the weekend.
“Sometimes you feel as if you can be hard done by and you just have to put it aside and get on with it,” the Scot said.
