Four Foxes Feature On Monday
- Jonny Evans finds the net as Northern Ireland beat the Czech Republic in an international friendly

- Lukáš Hušek also scored for his nation on Monday night

Evans, 31, has made over 80 appearances for Northern Ireland, and scored his third goal during his side’s 3-2 friendly triumph against the Czech Republic.
Paddy McNair gave the visitors the lead after nine minutes before Evans scrambled home for a 2-0 advantage with 23 minutes on the clock.
McNair added a third before the interval to make it 3-0, and while two goals in as many minutes from Vladimir Darida and Alex Kral gave the hosts hope, Evans’ nation held on to secure a win in Prague.
Elsewhere, young Leicester defender Hušek bagged a goal in the Czech Republic’s 3-0 victory over England Under-20s in the UEFA U20 2019 EURO Elite Round in Peterborough.
Matej Helebrand, of Czech side Opava, scored twice in the first half before Hušek extended the visitors’ advantage before the interval.
The triumph leaves the Czech Republic sixth in the standings after four fixtures, having accumulated four points during that period.
Academy graduate Ben Chilwell, meanwhile, gained his ninth cap for England, who surged to a 6-0 win against Bulgaria in Sofia.
At Stadion Vasil Levski, Marcus Rashford opened the scoring, Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley both scored braces and Harry Kane notched five minutes from time.
Gareth Southgate’s side now sit three points clear at the top of UEFA European Championships qualifying Group A after six matches.
Çağlar Söyüncü also played 90 minutes in UEFA 2020 EURO qualifying after representing Turkey in a 1-1 draw with 2018 world champions France.
Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud had initially given the hosts the lead at Stade de France, but Dusseldorf defender Kaan Ayhan levelled matters to ensure Turkey remained top of Group H after eight games.
Finally, Ricardo Pereira was unused from the bench as Portugal lost 2-1 to Ukraine in Kiev, with Gent’s Roman Yaremchuk and West Ham United attacker Andriy Yarmolenko on target for the host side.
