Two goals from Iheanacho and one from Tielemans dispatched United to put the Foxes into the last four for the first time in 39 years. Fred’s awful backpass gifted Iheanacho the opener and, after Mason Greenwood had levelled, Tielemans restored Leicester’s advantage. Iheanacho wrapped up the victory with a simple header 12 minutes from the end.

The Foxes reached their first FA Cup final for 52 years – since they lost 1-0 to Manchester City – when they overcame Southampton at Wembley last month. Iheanacho’s goal 10 minutes after half-time beat the Saints in front of 4,000 supporters as part of a pilot scheme as football began the slow return of fans amid the coronavirus pandemic. Leicester will now aim to avoid a fifth FA Cup final defeat when they face Chelsea on Saturday.
