Hide AdAaron Ramsdale – made a tremendous first-half save to deny Ayoze Perez 7
Chris Basham – a brilliant header off the line, but could not cope with the pace of Jamie Vardy, who twice got in behind him to make goals 6
Ethan Amapdu – his own goal just capped it all off 5
Kean Bryan – actually did a couple of good things but usually to make up for his own mistakes 5
George Baldock – dwelling on the ball to set up the second goal summed up his team's day 5

Hide AdJohn Lundstram – got a yellow card late on and it could have been worse 4
Oliver Norwood – did well to block a goalbound shot but otherwise another very ineffective display 5
John Fleck – gave away the ball and free-kicks far too often for a player of his quality 4
Enda Stevens – always on the back foot in the face of a very good Leicester display 5
Oli Burke – very little service, very little impact 5
Billy Sharp – again, he had little tot work with 5.
