Steve Howard was the hero for Leicester as his 89th minute penalty at Elland Road handed the Foxes a pa sage to the Carling Cup third round.Having only taken a single point from their first 3 league games (leaving them in 23rd place), Detroit Lions Kids Jersey coupled with the fact theyd been knocked out in the 2nd round in the last 2 seasons, it was likely to be a challenging tie for Leicester. Captain Jack Hobbs, however, played down the impact of Citys poor league form, stating, Its three games Weve got alot of time to put it right and theres no better time to start against Leeds before we play Reading on Saturday.After a rather dull opening, the best early chance fell to Leeds defender and ex Leicester loanee Alex Bruce, who wasted a good opportunity to head in from a Neil Kilkenny corner. It was Leeds, however, who did deal the first blow. Having scored twice after coming on in the 75th minute against Millwall, South African striker Davide Somma was rewarded with a start. He didnt disappoint, scoring with a completely unmarked glancing header following a fine first-time cro s from ex-Leicester midfielder Max Gradel, in the 32nd minute.Gradel, a product of the Leicester youth academy, who featured in 27 games in Leicesters succe sful promotion season, looked lively for Leeds. Only a minute before his a sist, he had a powerful shot turned away by Leicester Keeper Conrad Logan, deputising for the injured Chris Weale. After the half time break Leeds continued to create the better of the chances. Leicester found themselves in the line of fire only a minute into the second half, with Jack Hobbs making two important blocks in quick succe sion from Davide Somma and then Luciano Becchio. Leicesters Paul Gallagher then had a chance at the other end Leeds goalie Shane Higgs initially spilling his low drive, but managing to gather at the second attempt.Meanwhile, Max Gradel continued to look lively around Leicesters penalty, and in the 57th minute he skilfully worked an opening, but his finish was disappointing. Just as the game now seemed finely balanced, it was Leicesters time to strike. Leeds failed to clear their lines, and a misunderstanding between Johnson and Kilkenny presented po se sion to Leicester on the edge of the box. When the ball was pa sed back in to Richie Wellens he placed his low shot just out of Higgs reach, into the bottom left corner.Following the equaliser, Leicester seemed to gain the upper hand. Higgs made a crucial save, in his first game of the season Dan Campbell Jersey , to keep the score level. Steve Howard directed a low pinpoint cro s from Paul Gallagher goalwards from point blank range, only to be denied by the 33 year old goalkeeper. Howard and Gallagher combined well throughout; minutes earlier Howard would have had Tyrell Williams Jersey a great opportunity to score from a Gallagher cro s, had it not been down to the defending of Leeds Paul Connolly, who just did enough to put off the 6ft striker.Both teams were obviously keen to avoid extra time and therefore refused to sit back. Somma came closest for in the closing stages, with his well worked shot eventually flying over Conrad Logans cro sbar after some good build up play.It was then time for drama to unfold. Steve Howards last goal against Leeds came in the 90th minute at the Walkers Stadium in 2009, stealing the three points which would all but secure promotion for Leicester. This time it was Howard again who condemned Leeds to defeat. An unfortunate bounce from a high ball struck a completely unpre sured Neill Collins on the arm, leaving referee Eddie Ilderton with little choice but to point to the spot. Steve Howard, who once caused controversy over a penalty whilst at Luton**, made no mistake for Leicester, sending Higgs the wrong way in front of the Citys away fans.Simon Grayson described the defeat as frustrating, whilst a relieved Paulo Sousa believed the win would encourage everyone. Leicester will now face Reading and find out the identity of their third round opponents on Saturday. Leeds, meanwhile, travel to Watford.**
