Randers 1-3 Leicester (agg 2-7): Brendan Rodgers' Foxes keep silverware hopes alive as they book their spot in Europa Conference League last 16 thanks to Harvey Barnes' opener and a James Maddison brace

James Maddison produced two brilliant strikes to keep Leicester’s hopes of silverware alive as they claimed a first away win since October to reach the last 16 of the Europa Conference League.

After Harvey Barnes had given Leicester – 4-1 up from the first leg last week – the lead after 101 seconds, Randers created several chances but were wasteful in front of goal and also found Kasper Schmeichel in top form.

With 20 minutes remaining, Maddison – who had done little before then – hit a perfect free-kick from 20 yards and four minutes later found the target again from similar range, with Stephen Odey replying late on for Randers after Kasper Schmeichel’s error.
