Carabao Cup summary: Colchester and Oxford reach quarter-finals

Burton, who added Bournemouth to their growing list of scalps in the previous round, did pull a goal back through Liam Boyce early in the second half after strikes from Kelechi Iheanacho and Youri Tielemans had given Leicester a two-goal cushion at half-time. Brendan Rodgers’ team were put under some intense pressure in the second half but survived several difficult spells and sealed a place in the quarter-finals for the third year in a row when substitute James Maddison struck in the final minute. Holgate headed home what was his first goal for the Toffees in the 72nd minute, after a poor offering from both out-of-form sides, before ex-Hornets striker Richarlison drew an end to a nervy finale after thrashing past Heurelho Gomes in stoppage time.
