Foxes sunk by a Cam-buster

- By MATCH FACTS

NEIL WARNOCK hailed Cardiff’s best display back in the big time after Victor Camarasa’s last-gasp stunner shocked Leicester for their first away of the season.

It looked unlikely when James Maddison won and stepped up to take a 75th-minute penalty for Leicester – but keeper Neil Etheridge made his third spot-kick save of the season.

Cardiff then delivered the ultimate knockout in the 92nd minute when on-loan Spanish midfielder Camarasa fired in a corker.

Warnock insisted: “We deserved to win – it was our best performanc­e of the season.

“I encourage Victor to shoot whenever he can. He shot up into the stand before then but that was a fantastic goal.”

Leicester had their moments, and Maddison then Ricardo Pereira both went close.

Foxes boss Claude Puel tried to shake things up and took off top scorer Jamie Vardy, to boos from home fans, which meant their penalty taker

was off when Maddison’s spot-kick was saved.

Puel, who said he substitute­d Vardy because the player was tired, said: “It is a shame and difficult to accept at the end. It was all very frustratin­g.

“It’s disappoint­ing for Maddy and for us. But Jamie was in difficulty at the time and was tired.”
