Leicester City has been defeated by Burton Albion in a Capital One Cup match at King Power Stadium. Burton won that match by a profound margin of 4-2 and cruised into the third round of the tournament. On the other hand, Leicester has been knocked out of the tournament with this defeat.

The Leicester fans had turned out in large numbers to support their team and they would have been terribly disappointed with Leicester’s defeat. The supporters were expecting Leicester to win the match quite comfortably, but, the Burton players stunned everyone with their performance. Burton had never reached the third round of the Capital One Cup in the past. So, this victory would have given the Burton fans a lot of joy.

The last few days have been pretty tough for the Leicester team. The team had lost two back-to-back games against Blackburn Rovers and Charlton Athletic before this game. The people were expecting Leicester to bounce back against a relatively weaker Burton side, but, that didn’t happen and Leicester’s poor run continued.

The Leicester team started the match pretty well and created some opportunities, but, the goalkeeper of Burton, Ross Atkins, made some brilliant saves and didn’t let Leicester take the lead. Burton managed to get ahead in the match in the 20th minute against the run of play. The Brewers earned a free kick and Chris Palmer didn’t miss the opportunity. He smashed a low, flat shot to beat the Leicester goalkeeper with ease.

There were no more goals scored in the first half. Cleveland Taylor doubled the lead of Burton at the beginning of the second half which made it very hard for Leicester to comeback in the match. Anthony Knockaert capitalized on a free kick to score the first goal for Leicester and it seemed that the match was going to be pretty close. But, the Burton team didn’t let Leicester score the leveller. Robbie Weir and Jacques Maghoma scored two more goals for the Brewers and the game went out of the reach of Leicester.

Marko Futacs scored the second goal for Leicester with a fantastic volley towards the end of the match, but, that was too little, too late. Leicester City will play its next match against Blackpool.
