Leicester striker Jamie Vardy celebrates his winner against Sheffield UnitedSheffield Wednesday fan Jamie Vardy put the Blades to the sword as Leicester City knocked Sheffield United out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 victory at the King Power Stadium. Sheffield United goalkeeper Jamal Blackman was worked for the first time midway through the first half when he had to push away a 25-yard strike from Ndidi. Vardy was presented with a third chance from the left side of the area when Mahrez put him through one-on-one with Blackman. Leicester tried to maintain their pressure in the second half, but they were largely kept at arm's length. Blackman denied Gray a quick second goal before opposite number Schmeichel kept his side ahead and ensured they progressed to the quarter-finals with a good save to thwart George Baldock as Sheffield United posed a rare threat.
