The Foxes completed a second half turnaround to sentence the Black Cats to defeat, sealing their own progression in the tournament at the same time. Phil Parkinson named a much-changed side for the clash, but who took their chance in the team?

5. Laurens De Bock
Looked comfortable in defence and won his aerial duels. Provided very little threat going forward. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
6. Dylan McGeouch
Looked short on confidence on a difficult night. Lost his footing to allow Dewsbury-Hall to put his side ahead and struggled to contain the Leicester midfield in the latter stages. 4 Photo: FRANK REID
7. Grant Leadbitter
Couldn’t get close enough to prevent Dewsbury-Hall getting his winning goal away from just inside the box. Played some good switches but not at his best and was exposed at times out of possession. Missed a glorious chance late on. 4 Photo: FRANK REID
8. Duncan Watmore
Some good driving runs that his team-mates should have produced more from, but his influence waned before he was taken off in the second half. 5 Photo: FRANK REID
