Foxes finish season in last-gasp style

Teenage debutant Harry Panayiotou scored a last-second winner as Leicester ended the season on a high and condemned Leeds to an unwanted club record.

Martyn Waghorn's first-half goal had looked to have sent United to an 11th home defeat of the season, only for Danny Webber to equalise with eight minutes remaining.
But, with seconds left on the clock, Panayiotou touched in Ben Marshall's effort to make it 2-1, leaving home manager Neil Warnock and his players to confront the linesman about an alleged offside.
Warnock's fury may have been more about a season of underachievement at Elland Road than the goal itself, but the veteran boss - who has promised a summer of change - may hear more about the incident after he appeared to throw his chewing gum at the official at the full-time whistle.
And, while 17-year-old Panayiotou may have won it for Leicester, their manager Nigel Pearson - like Warnock a mid-season appointment - will be well aware of the hard work ahead this summer after his big-spending club failed to make their expected promotion push.
Both will hope for better next season but, with so little a stake here, it was of no surprise that the goals apart, action was thin on the ground.
