This was not the way Brendan Rodgers wanted to celebrate four years in charge of Leicester as they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Blackburn to boos from the home crowd.
The winners of this competition in 2021, Leicester produced a desperately poor performance as goals from Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics sent Championship promotion-chasers Rovers into round six for the first time in eight years.
Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho’s strike could not save Leicester and it remains to be seen what impact this result has on their Premier League relegation battle.
Leicester made seven changes to Blackburn’s three and should have taken the lead in the eighth minute when Aynsley Pears made a double save from Tete and Dennis Praet.
