Scroll down and click through the pages to see how our Sunderland AFC writer, Phil Smith, rated the individual displays in the cup defeat:
1. Jon McLaughlin
Little he could do about either goal and made a smart stop to prevent George Thomas adding a third for Leicester. Came off his line snuff out dangerous attacks more than once. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
2. Conor McLaughlin
Allowed the lively Callum Wright to get goal side of him from a throw-in and ended up bringing him down for the penalty that brought the scores level. Offered little going forward. 5 Photo: FRANK REID
3. Tom Flanagan
Defended steadily enough and kept it simple in possession. One who did his cause no harm. 6 Photo: FRANK REID
4. Alim Ozturk
A big blow for the Turk who lasted just 36 minutes on his return from injury. Took a little while to get up to the pace of the game and was challenged by the lively George Hurst, but was looking more comfortable and playing some excellent long passes before coming off with what looked to be a muscle problem. 6 Photo: Frank Reid
