The visitors started the brighter and Aaron Ramsey’s shot from range tested Millwall keeper Max Crocombe early on.<\/p>\n
At the other end, Leicester keeper Stolarczyk used his legs smartly to keep out the in-form Azeez.<\/p>\n
Just before the break, Casper De Norre dropped deep on halfway and played a long ball up to Azeez, who left Luke Thomas floundering before lashing the ball into the back of the net – his fourth goal in as many games.<\/p>\n
The Foxes were dealt a further blow moments after the half-time break when Tuesday’s goal-scorer Ramsey was forced off with an injury and replaced by Argentine loanee striker Julian Carranza.<\/p>\n
Azeez was then tripped in the box by Foxes midfielder Harry Winks but Serbian striker Ivanovic’s well-struck spot-kick was superbly saved down to his right hand side by Stolarczyk.<\/p>\n
That deprived the struggling visitors of the lift they needed and Azeez went close again, but his left-foot shot from outside the box went just wide.<\/p>\n
Off the bench, substitute Carranza’s attempt to grab his first goal for Leicester saw his overhead kick sail over the bar.<\/p>\n
Deep into six minutes of additional time, fellow sub Patson Daka was denied a dramatic leveller when his header was saved by Lions keeper Crocombe as the hosts hung on for a well-earned three points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The visitors started the brighter and Aaron Ramsey’s shot from range tested Millwall keeper Max Crocombe early on.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-240312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
