Samir Nasri sees red after this confrontation with Jamie Vardy

Homesport

It was all a bit tense as the game at the King Power between Leicester and Sevilla approached its final 15 minutes.

The home side were two up on the night - 3-2 on aggregate - but there was a sense that the final minutes of the game would be backs to the wall defending for Claudio Ranieri's Craig Shakespeare's men. Then, out of nowhere, a yell went up from the crowd. Sevilla's Samir Nasri, already with a yellow card to his name, appeared to have head butted Jamie Vardy, who was sent staggering backwards by the incident. Replays showed that Nasri did indeed react to a shove from Vardy by squaring up to the England striker. His reaction though was a bit... exaggerated. Still, both players were given yellows for the incident, meaning Nasri was off for an early bath. Leicester would play out the remaining minutes of the game with a one man advantage. https://twitter.com/btsportfootball/status/841761021945606144 Although Sevilla would go on to win a penalty, Kasper Schmeichel's save to deny Stephen N'Zonzi ensured that Leicester progressed to the quarter finals.
