Leicester City knocked out of Europa Conference League

Leicester City have been knocked out of the Europa Conference League semi-finals following a 1-0 defeat against Roma on Thursday evening.

After drawing the first leg 1-1 at the King Power Stadium a week earlier, it means that the Foxes have failed to reach the final following an overall 2-1 defeat on aggregate.

Former Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham scored the only goal of the game at the Stadio Olimpico with a fine header after just 11 minutes for Jose Mourinho's Roma side.

James Maddison came closest to equalising for Leicester in the closing stages, but his effort drifted inches wide of Rui Patricio's post, as Brendan Rodgers's side struggled to create many clear-cut chances in their response.

Leicester return to Premier League action when they host Everton at the King Power Stadium on Sunday, currently occupying 11th place in the table.

Meanwhile, Roma will now travel to Albania to face Feyenoord in the final on May 25, with the winners set to be crowned the first-ever champions of the newly-formed Europa Conference League.
