Leicester have plenty of work to do next week if they are to make it into the semi-final The chance gave Leicester encouragement, but Timothy Castagne failed to get enough on his shot to trouble Mvogo. PSV wanted a penalty when Pereira slipped and clipped Gakpo early in the second half but, without VAR, their protests were waved away.
