CARLO ANCELOTTI is still dreaming of European qualification after his side defeated third-place Leicester City on Wednesday evening.

An impressive first-half performance saw the home side take a two-goal lead. 19-year-old winger Anthony Gordon set up Richarlison for the first before Gylfi Sigurdsson coolly slotted away a penalty after Wilfred Ndidi was adjudged to have handled the ball during an aerial challenge with Michael Keane.

The penalty was given after a VAR check lasting more than two minutes, which in itself suggests the referee’s original decision not to award a spot-kick wasn’t a clear and obvious error.
