Leicester survive Rennes onslaught to book their spot in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals as Wesley Fofana marks comeback from long injury layoff with his first-ever goal for the Foxes in 3-2 aggregate win

Wesley Fofana sensationally scored on his return from a broken leg to book Leicester's spot in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals as the Foxes survived a late onslaught from Rennes on Thursday.

The French hosts got off to a dream start within the opening 10 minutes, with Benjamin Bourigeaud tapping home from close range to break the game's deadlock and reduce Leicester's aggregate lead to just one.

However, it was Fofana's turn to dream with the young French defender scoring his first goal for the club on his comeback from a long injury layoff, equalising on the night and restoring the Foxes' two-goal cushion on aggregate.
