Leicester City boss Craig Shakespeare was full of praise for the performance of his players last night.

The new Foxes manager oversaw his side defeated Sevilla 2-0 in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg at the King Power Stadium.

Goals from Wes Morgan and Marc Albrighton either side of the break, a red card to Samir Nasri and a late penalty save from Kasper Schmeichel saw Leicester create history to advance to the quarter-finals of Europe's premier club competition.

"I was very pleased [with the players]," Shakespeare told LCFC TV.

"Of course in a cup tie of this stature against one of the best teams in Europe, we needed to make sure that we kept cool heads.

"We also needed to show a competitive edge and I think we showed that from the first minute. I think we set our stall out really well from the first minute.

"That was the game plan, to try to make it as uncomfortable as we could for Sevilla. We didn't want them playing their passing game and you could see that from the first minute."
