Pepe Reina has an absolute shocker letting Harvey Barnes score Leicester’s opener into open goal – The Sun

PEPE REINA had an absolute shocker as he gifted Leicester the simplest of openers at the King Power Stadium.

The veteran Aston Villa stopper, 37, raced off his line in a bid to stop the Foxes winger from getting on the end of Marc Albrighton's lofted through ball.

But Spanish stopper Reina got it all wrong as Barnes flicked the ball past him and coolly slotted the ball into an empty net to give the hosts the lead.

All the while, former Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was left flailing at thin air.

In fact, the Spaniard got it so wrong, he was miles outside of the TV shot by the time Barnes stroked the ball over the line.

The goal gave Leicester – currently sitting third in the Premier League – an important lead as they bid to keep their spot in the Champions League places.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa were plunged into further despair, as the Carabao Cup runners-up still sit 19th in the top-flight, starting relegation in the face.
