Two officers were seen grappling with the man in the away end before he got a whack in the face.

Three fans were kicked out of the King Power Stadium during the evening and one man was nicked.

A Leicestershire Police spokeswoman said: “An 18-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence. He has been served with a conditional caution and released from custody.”

Premier League side Leicester beat the Championship outfit 3-1, with goals from Kelechi Iheanacho, Islam Slimani and Riyad Mahrez.
