The Fuchs volley in Fleetwood's Leicester tie
Fleetwood lost 4–0 at Leicester in the second round on 28 August 2018. Christian Fuchs opened the scoring with a volley from the edge of the area into the top corner. Leicester later selected the strike as their Goal of the Season.
The club's retrospective on Fuchs identifies the opponent, date and competition, making it a useful reference for the widely remembered finish. It was an opening goal in a League Cup tie, rather than a league match or a goal in the final.
For Fleetwood supporters revisiting that evening, the result and the individual goal tell different parts of the story. Town's campaign ended with the four-goal defeat, while Fuchs' strike gained a separate place in Leicester's season review. The linked retrospective provides that context without changing the stage of the competition or the outcome of Fleetwood's visit.
From Crewe penalties to later Everton meetings
Fleetwood reached Leicester by drawing 1–1 away to Crewe and winning the shoot-out 4–3. Both fixtures in the 2018/19 campaign were away. The opening penalty success and the second-round defeat therefore form a short, clearly defined route.
In 2020/21, Town won 3–2 at home to Wigan and 2–1 at home to Port Vale before losing 5–2 to Everton, also at home. That later run reached round three and included goals in every Fleetwood match.
Everton returned as second-round opponents in 2022/23, winning 1–0 after Fleetwood had beaten Wigan 1–0 away. The repeated names can make these campaigns look similar, but the rounds and scores differ: Wigan–Port Vale–Everton in 2020/21, and Wigan–Everton in 2022/23. Neither Everton meeting was part of the 2018 Leicester campaign.
