Leicester City fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1 at home to Aston Villa in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash on Wednesday.

Right-back Frederic Guilbert opened the scoring in surprise fashion at the King Power Stadium, beating Ben Chilwell at the back post to fire Villa in front thanks to a superb Anwar El Ghazi cross.

Leicester bombarded the Villa goal and eventually found their equaliser after substitute Kelechi Iheanacho scored soon after his introduction in the 69th minute.

The two teams will clash again at Villa Park on January 28.
