Video: Axel Disasi gives Leicester lifeline after nightmare own goal

Posted by

Axel Disasi has handed Leicester City a lifeline after his blind backpass bypassed Robert Sanchez and into the back of his own net.

Going into the break 2-0 up, it looked like Mauricio Pochettino’s side were destined for the FA Cup semi-finals but they got off to the worst possible start in the second half.

Running back to his own goal with a Leicester City player breathing down his neck, Disasi played an off-balanced left-foot pass back to his goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, Sanchez was pushed up outside of his own box with the French defender putting too much on the pass.

Disasi could only watch on as it floated into the back of the Chelsea net.
