Leicester City boss Claude Puel refused to criticise goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel despite his late blunder which enabled Chelsea to secure a 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium.
Schmeichel came charging off his line on the stroke of half-time in extra-time, making it a more straightforward task for Pedro to nod in N`Golo Kante`s speculative cross and give Chelsea a place in the FA Cup semi-finals.
The Denmark international was earlier beaten by Alvaro Morata`s first goal since Boxing Day before Jamie Vardy`s second-half leveller sent the last-eight tie beyond the 90 minutes.
Puel told BBC Sport: I think since the beginning Kasper has been a fantastic goalkeeper. In goal there is always a mistake, but he has been fantastic.
I can`t say anything wrong about him - he`s a fantastic keeper. We are unlucky today.
Puel felt his side deserved more from an entertaining encounter, adding: I`m a bit upset at the moment because I think we deserved another result.
They found a good clinical edge. Morata`s goal was the only chance of the first half, it was harsh to concede just before half-time. But we came back with more calm and more quality.
I`m proud of my players because it was a game with a high level against a good team. We improved and we deserve another result.
FULL-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 1-2 CHELSEA! (AET)
WE`RE THROUGH TO THE SEMI-FINALS!
