Soyuncu injured as Leicester thwarted by Zorya Luhansk late winner

Leicester were unable to seal top spot in their Europa League Group G after Zorya Luhansk's late winner in Ukraine.

The Foxes had already secured a spot in the knockout rounds, but a win over Zorya would have put them in top spot with a game to spare.

Brendan Rodgers welcomed back senior players Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Wilfred Ndidi.

However, Soyuncu lasted only 17 minutes due to injury.

The game looked poised for a draw until Allahyar Sayyadmanesh converted Denis Favorov's low ball from the right with 84 minutes on the clock.
