goal on comeback helps Leicester edge through"},"content":{"rendered":"<div >\n<p  ><span data-react>Wesley Fofana made a dream comeback after seven months out injured, as his goal helped Leicester City overcome Rennes and advance to the Europa Conference League quarter-finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-react>\n<p ><span data-react>Leicester won the first leg 2-0 at the King Power Stadium, but their lead was halved in eight minutes when Benjamin Bourigeaud finished off a low cross from Martin Terrier.<\/span><\/p>\n<div >\n<div  >\n<div ><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p ><span data-react>But central defender Fofana, 21, playing for the first time since breaking his leg in a pre-season friendly against Villarreal in August, headed in from Ademola Lookman&#8217;s corner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>The Frenchman ran and hugged manager Brendan Rodgers in emotional scenes, although that was not the last of the goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Rennes regained the lead on the night through substitute Flavien Tait&#8217;s low shot into the bottom corner in the 77th minute, with the hosts needing one more goal to force extra time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>They narrowly missed it, but Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made an excellent save with his legs to deny Serhou Guirassy in the 85th minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>The Foxes held on to seal a 3-2 aggregate victory to progress to the quarter-finals of a European competition for the second time in their history, after losing to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals in 2017. .<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>The draw for the next round takes place on Friday in Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul

data-react>For Leicester, 12th in the Premier League but a long way from European qualification and far from the relegation zone, this competition provides their main source of excitement for the rest of the campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>In the last two years, they have been pushing to qualify for the Champions League and finished fifth in successive campaigns before winning the FA Cup for the first time last season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>That took them to the Europa League but, after finishing only third in their group, they fell to the third-tier Europa Conference League.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Following the home win in the first leg, Rodgers warned his players that the tie was not over and they would have to &#8220;suffer a bit&#8221; in the second leg in north-west France.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>That was certainly the case in a hectic match at a packed and noisy Roazhon Park with the game being played in an excellent atmosphere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>Rennes, fourth in Ligue 1, got off to a brilliant start, scoring early and putting the Foxes under pressure, before Fofana&#8217;s goal early in the second half seemed to have calmed the visitors&#8217; nerves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p ><span data-react>But Tait&#8217;s goal set up a frantic and exciting finish with Leicester defenders throwing their bodies in front of the ball and Baptiste Santamaria firing wide in the 92nd minute as the Foxes held on.<\/span><\/p>\n<div >\n<div data-react>\n<div data-react>\n<div >\n<ul >\n<li
