With a late goal from an academy graduate and an even later one from an all-time club great, Leicester completed a second-half fightback in Portugal and confirmed their progress to the Europa League knockout stages.
Brendan Rodgers’s team started badly in Braga and were at risk of a heavy beating until the manager made changes to stimulate a dramatic improvement after the interval. They drew level thanks to Luke Thomas’s first senior goal for the club he joined as an eight-year-old. Then they seemed to let qualification slip again when Fransérgio struck in the 90th minute, but that merely set the stage for Jamie Vardy to steal the show by making it 3-3 in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
