Twitter reacts to Leicester City's stunning Champions League victory against Sevilla

Leicester City put in a stunning performance to knock out La Liga side Sevilla

Back from the depths of despair Leicester City once again scaled improbable heights with a tumultuous 2-0 victory over Spanish club Sevilla to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Skipper Wes Morgan's 28th-minute effort and Marc Albrighton's precise shot after the break saw Craig Shakespeare's team overturn the 2-1 defeat they suffered in former manager Claudio Ranieri's final match in charge.

Sevilla missed a penalty and had Samir Nasri sent off as a rocking King Power stadium celebrated yeat another historic night. Twitter users as usual had a lot to stay about the Foxes’ stunning triumph. Here are the best/funniest tweets from last night’s match:
