PRE-SEASON ROUND-UP: Leicester City concede two set-piece goals as they slump to defeat against non-league Notts County, Crystal Palace play out nine-goal thriller against Millwall and Aston Villa impress in 4-0 victory over Walsall

Leicester suffered an embarrassing start to their pre-season campaign as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against non-league Notts County, despite scoring first.

Defenders Wesley Fofana and Ricardo Pereira both started in defence, but last season's set-piece woes reared their head once again as Brendan Rogers watched his side struggle to defend.

Harvey Barnes calmly opened the scoring after being played through for a one-on-one with the County goalkeeper.

But their lead lasted just over 10 minutes as Kairo Mitchell reacted quickest inside the box to pounce on a loose ball and score from a corner.
