Alan Shearer hails Demarai Gray's match-winning performance against Derby: 'He was the star of the show'

Alan Shearer hailed Demarai Gray as the 'star of the show' as Leicester claimed a 3-1 victory over Derby County in their FA Cup fourth-round replay on Wednesday night.

Gray was handed a rare start by Claudio Ranieri and managed to take his chance with both hands as the Foxes romped to victory in extra-time.

The former Birmingham City winger capped a man-of-the-match performance with a fine individual goal minutes before the final whistle and Shearer believes Gray now has a chance of starting against Swansea at the weekend.
