Ghana defender Daniel Amartey scores as Leicester City draw against Spartak Moscow in Europa League

Published on: 05 November 2021

Ghana defender Daniel Amartey scored for Leicester City in their 1-1 draw against Spartak Moscow in UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.

Amartey lasted the entire duration of the game as the Foxes picked a point to leave their hopes of qualifying from Group C in the balance.

The Foxes are third in a tight group with two games remaining and Brendan Rodgers' side will rue a failure to take three points on Thursday.

Leicester started well and Amartey skidded a shot wide while Iheanacho's early sighter was easily dealt with by Selikhov.

The Ghanaian opened the scoring for the host after meeting Ayoze Perez's flick-on with a firm header.

Former Chelsea and Liverpool forward Victor Moses then hauled down Ademola Lookman in the box but Vardy's spot-kick was uncharacteristically timid and goalkeeper Aleksandr Selikhov got down comfortably to parry it away.

Leicester are two points behind group leaders Napoli, who have seven points after thumping second-placed Legia Warsaw 4-1 earlier.
