Leicester can take Champions League fighting spirit to kick-start Premier League season, says Rio Ferdinand

Leicester can use their Champions League comeback against Porto to kick-start their season, according to former England defender Rio Ferdinand.

Claudio Ranieri's side, struggling in the league, looked to be heading out in the Champions League when they went 2-0 down to Sevilla.

But Jamie Vardy's away goal now gives them a real chance of progressing, and Ferdinand claimed that can boost Leicester domestically too.
