LEICESTER, England — Leicester’s substitutes pounced on a rare lapse in concentration by Aston Villa to salvage a 1-1 draw for their team in the first leg of the English League Cup semifinals on Wednesday.
Right back Frederic Guilbert broke forward to give Villa the lead in the 28th from his side’s only shot on target at the King Power Stadium, as the injury-hit visitors stifled the second-place team in the Premier League until Iheanacho struck. Following a recent season-ending injury to Brazil international Wesley, Villa didn’t play a recognized striker against Leicester – a tactic also employed to good effect by City at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
