Theeicester City won a second consecutive Carabao Cup match to qualify for a quarter-final at home against Manchester City.

After five successful shots on either side, Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward was saved from Manolo Gabbiadini before Nampalys Mendy converted to Leicester, after defeating Wolves by the same method in the third round when Ward made three repair stops.

Leicester, however, had the chance to progress. Southampton scored a goal by substitute Steve Davis escaped eight minutes from the end after referee Roger East, badisted by a VAR control, ruled that Nathan Redmond had controlled the ball with his right hand when Training. Then, in stoppage time, another substitute, Gabbiadini, hit the Leicester bar with a free kick shot just outside the penalty area after the Redmond player had fouled Mendy. Redmond had also touched the wood earlier.
