'Early goal gave us control' - Ranieri thrilled as Leicester start in style

Claudio Ranieri believes Leicester City were inspired by the Champions League music after easing to victory against Club Brugge.

Claudio Ranieri felt scoring early was crucial as Leicester City kicked off their debut season in the Champions League with a 3-0 win over Club Brugge.

The Premier League champions went into their first European game off the back of a 4-1 loss to Liverpool on Saturday, a result that dropped them to 16th place in the table.

However, Marc Albrighton calmed any nerves on opening night, capitalising on a defensive mix-up to break the deadlock after five minutes in Belgium.
