Leicester City made it through to the knockout stages of the EFL Trophy, now called the Jersey Mike's Trophy with a professional performance in a 2-1 win over Walsall, to finish runners-ups in the group behind Stevenage.

Goals from John Lundstram and Will Smallbone saw the Foxes come from behind to finish level on points at the top of the table and secure a place in the last 32.

Russell Martin again blended a mixture of experience, those on the fringes and youth off the bench and despite going behind early, it was a fairly comfortable evening with plenty of small positives to take as well as the same old concerns around taking chances in particular, still prevelant.
