The 10 men of Millwall piled further the misery on beleaguered Premier League champions Leicester City with a deserved 1-0 win in the FA Cup fifth round.

Jake Cooper was dismissed early in the second half for a reckless challenge on Ahmed Musa, a second yellow card, but the Lions roared back with intent.

Shortly after Shinji Okazaki's shot from six yards was smothered by Jordan Archer, right-back Shaun Cummings gambled at the other end of the pitch, pouncing on hestiation by a hapless Leicester defence and win the game in the final minute.

Millwall had knocked out Bournemouth and Watford on their path to the fifth round and now claim their biggest scalp of the competition so far, while Claudio Ranieri & Co. will travel back to the King Power Stadium under further pressure as their plight takes another dire turn.
