Patson Daka’s Leicester edged Enock Mwepu’s Brighton on penalties to reach the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after an entertaining game finished 2-2 at the King Power Stadium.
Neal Maupay’s penalty hit the crossbar and Mwepu’s effort was saved by Danny Ward to send the Foxes through.
Harvey Barnes had opened the scoring early on before a dramatic end to the first half saw two goals in added time.
Adam Webster poked in but Ademora Lookman put the Foxes back in front, before Mwepu levelled again on 71 minutes of the game.
It was the midfielder’s first goal for the Seagulls, as he looped a header into the corner – but the celebrations turned to disappointment after penalties.
Maupay was the first to miss from the spot, hammering his effort against the bar, before Ward got down smartly to save Mwepu’s low kick and book Leicester a spot in the last eight. Znbc
