Bringing together members of the 15/16 Premier League title-winning squad and raising funds for the VS Foundation and Leicester City in the Community, it proved to be a memorable day in the Leicestershire sunshine.

After a goalless draw in normal time, two sensational penalty saves from Conrad Logan, alongside converted spot-kicks from Paul Konchesky, Liam Moore, Marc Albrighton and Christian Fuchs saw Claudio Ranieri’s men come out on top against Tony Pulis’ side.

The players were greeted onto the Filbert Way turf by Club Ambassador Alan Birchenall in true Birch style, with the Blue Army eager to see so many familiar faces in action once more, as well as those in attendance but unable to take to the pitch, including the recently retired Kasper Schmeichel, Demarai Gray and, of course, Jamie Vardy.

First half action

Pulis' All Star XI lined up in a five-at-the-back formation, as the away side looked to keep things tight early doors, though Luke Steele was not required when David Nugent fired one over from range, shortly before Albrighton took aim and curled his effort just above the bar.

Jeffrey Schlupp, Danny Drinkwater, Fuchs and Leonardo Ulloa all went close too; the Argentine sliding one narrowly wide, while Ben Hamer made two smart stops to keep the Foxes’ clean sheet intact, including a one-on-one with Cameron Jerome.

Clear-cut chances for both sides

The players may have begun to tire slightly in the heat, and the tempo may have slowed without the raw pace delivered 10 years ago, but there were still glimpses of that 15/16 quality on display, most notably from Albrighton, who struck one wide of the target as we searched for that elusive opener.

Nugent, through on goal, saw his chip saved by the onrushing Steele, meanwhile, before setting up substitute Moore, who was denied by fellow substitute Wes Brown on the cover.

Substitute ‘keeper Logan only had to watch on as Dan Gosling’s effort landed wide at the other end, with Pulis’ visitors set up to defend compact and hit City on the break.

A moment to remember

Legendary skipper Wes Morgan was given a standing ovation as the Foxes’ Premier League title-winning captain departed the pitch, replaced by the reliable Yohan Benalouane and it wasn’t long before the Tunisian lined up a strike from all of 35 yards in search of what was close to becoming a winner if it hit the net.

A carbon-copy of a move seen many times a decade ago, Albrighton whipped in an inch-perfect delivery from Ulloa, whose glancing header was agonisingly close, though there would be no earthquake goal on this occasion.

Both teams looked dangerous in the closing stages, with Nathan Dyer denied by Steele, shortly before cultured midfielder Wes Hoolahan volleyed one narrowly wide as it finished all square in normal-time, before we prevailed on penalties.
