Leicester booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals as a stunning extra-time strike from substitute Abdul Fatawu earned them a 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
It is the fourth time in the last seven seasons the Foxes – who lifted the trophy in 2020/21 – have progressed to the last eight of the competition.
For long periods, it looked as though Bournemouth would be the team to strike first, but despite mustering a whopping 27 shots, just four of those were on target, with many other seemingly simple opportunities squandered.
When it looked as though the game would be heading towards a penalty shootout after a largely uneventful first period of extra-time, 19-year-old Fatawu popped up with a moment of sheer brilliance that sent the Championship leaders through.
Enzo Maresca’s men will find out their opponents for the next round when the draw is made on Wednesday evening.
