---------------------------

Coventry City went down to a 3-2 defeat against Leicester City in their final pre-season fixture. 

Against Trevor Peake's side, the Sky Blues were under pressure early on with keeper Addai, twice having to clear his lines. 

The Sky Blues had Devon Kelly-Evans back following his starring role for the first team against Stevenage on Saturday and his pace won City a free kick which eventually saw the ball going over to Dan Smith on the right of the area and he lashed the ball into the net with a right footed volley.  

Leicester drew level in the 28th minute with a goal from their number seven Maskwe with a low deflected shot on the right. 

Five minutes before the break, the Sky Blues were back in front when Jacob Whitmore put the keeper under pressure and tapped into the empty net.  

City made a number of changes at the break as Steven Pressley and Neil MacFarlane arrived to see some of a half which saw some over the top challenges from the visitors.  

In the space of five minutes, what looked to be a victory for the Sky Blues, was thrown away when Leicester equalised in the 74th minute through a substitute after possession was given away and ‎five minutes later, Leicester's number two, who would have been sent off had this been a league match, drove home from inside the area to give Leicester the win.
