End of 2nd Half
FT
Full-time: Leicester hold on to continue their 100 per cent record in Group G. Jamie Vardy and Hamza Choudhury scored the goals, both coming in the first half, and although Muamer Tankovic halved the deficit immediately after the restart, Brendan Rodgers' side held on.
90'+3
Albrighton is still working hard down the flank and he does well to prevent the cross coming in. Leicester are almost there...
90'
FOUR minutes of added-time to play!
89'
Have AEK got another sting in their tail? Or will Leicester hang on for their second Group G victory?
86'
AEK triple sub: Vasilantonopoulos, Sabanadzovic and Macheras come on for the hosts in one final throw of the dice from the manager.

84'
Leicester are proving dangerous on the break once again. Praet drives forward, but the AEK defenders stand firm, forcing the Belgian into a wide position and the move breaks down.
83'
Morgan has won a number of important headers in the Leicester penalty area. And he does so again just now, as AEK pile on the pressure.
82'
The Foxes spring a counter-attack down the right, Albrighton searches for Praet with his cut-back, but the Belgian commits a foul and the chance is gone.
80'
Leicester have everyone behind the ball as they try to see out the last 10 minutes or so.
77'
Leicester are not happy as the referee blows for a free-kick on the right flank. Thomas didn't make much contact with Bakasis, but he also goes into the book. Very harsh.
Yellow card
L. Thomas

Tottenham are still trailing to Antwerp...
74'
Leicester sub: Harvey Barnes replaces Maddison for the last 15 minutes or so. He, too, was excellent in last week's win.
73'
Yellow card! Insua goes into the book for catching Albrighton with a stray arm while competing aerially.

72'
Mantalos lifts a dangerous free-kick deliery into the penalty area, but Leicester defend it well.
71'
Leicester sub: Vardy makes way for Kelechi Iheanacho, who was unfortunate not to start tonight having played a part in all three of the Foxes' goals in last week's victory over Zorya.

Mantalos takes down a pass on the left side of the penalty area and lets fly with a half-volley, which is blocked.
68'
So Rodgers obviously has one eye on Leeds on Monday night, judging by that double substitution.
66'
Double Leicester sub: Dennis Praet and Nampalys Mendy replace Under and Choudhury.

65'
Fofana steps up just in the nick of time to catch Tankovic offside. He needed to get that right - otherwise the AEK forward was through again.
64'
Off the post! A brilliant effort by Under, who bursts into the penalty from the right and bends a delicious shot at goal. It crashes off the post and bounces to safety.
