Rachid Ghezzal has apologised to the fans of Leicester City, for their early FA Cup exit at the hands of Newport County.
The Foxes were underwhelming in the away fixture, going behind as early as 10 minutes, before the Algerian pulled them level.
However, a late conversion from the spot ensured a 2-1 win for Newport, sending the King Power stadium outfit out of the competition.
“I know the club has never won this cup,” Ghezzal told Leicestershire Live.
“It was an objective for us , for the club and the Boss [Khun Vichai].
“Today we are sorry to the fans.
“When I scored it was more difficult and we conceded a penalty straight after, but that is football and we need to do better to win this game.
“We created so many chances and it is very disappointing. We had to score but sometimes it is like that. We tried but without success.”
