Owls draw a 'sucker punch' in Foxes fight for survival

Leicester City suffered a "sucker punch" in their fight for Championship survival when they failed to beat already relegated crisis club Sheffield Wednesday, says former Foxes defender Michael Morrison.

Monday’s 1-1 draw with the Owls left Leicester in the bottom three with five games remaining.

And with the Foxes managing only one win from 15 league games since early January, Morrison says they missed the chance to take control of their own destiny.

"They have probably got to win three games to get over the line, especially with [relegation rivals] Portsmouth having a game in hand," he told BBC Radio Leicester.

"It was a real sucker punch not to go get that win [at Sheffield Wednesday]. As a football club you need to take advantage of these moments and that was certainly one that was missed .

"You could look back at the end of the season and say that was 'the point where it looked really dangerous and look where we got relegated'.

"It was such an opportunity to get out of that relegation zone, which then brings together that confidence and that bit of life in that fight."
