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? Scroll down and click through the pages to see how our Sunderland AFC writer, Phil Smith, rated the individual displays in the cup defeat:
9. Chris Maguire
Produced Sunderland’s one moment of quality with a superb free-kick to put his side ahead. A peripheral figure otherwise and particularly in the second half. 5 Photo: FRANK REID
10. Benji Kimpioka
Had a very difficult evening after being given a big chance to start. Plenty of energy and a nuisance at times, but end product and decision making was very poor. 4 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
11. Marc McNulty
Very little influence and didn’t make many of the dangerous runs off the shoulder that are usually the central part of his game. 5 Photo: FRANK REID 2019
12. Jordan Willis
Pace was important against a Leicester side that too often got clear on the break. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
