Rodgers 'happy for players' after Leicester stun PSV to reach Europa Conference League semifinals

Ricardo Pereira scored a late winner as Leicester City produced a superb comeback to beat PSV Eindhoven in the Europa Conference League and reach the club's first European semi-final.

After a goalless first leg at King Power Stadium, Eran Zahavi pounced on a mistake by Youri Tielemans to open the scoring but James Maddison levelled with 13 minutes remaining.

The Foxes midfielder slotted into the top corner from Ayoze Perez's clever cutback before Pereira fired the winner in the 88th minute to seal a memorable win.

They will face the winners of Roma versus Bodo/Glimt, who lead 2-1 following the first leg.

Afterwards, Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers said: "We are a team that is so young in European football, PSV have an incredible history in Europe and for us we are so young - these are great experiences for us and I am so happy for the players."
