Leicester City news: Claudio Ranieri hails fantastic Foxes after Champions League debut

Claudio Ranieri praised his Leicester stars after a 3-0 rout of Club Brugge marked a fairytale Champions League debut.

Riyad Mahrez scored twice after Marc Albrighton grabbed the opener just five minutes in to net the Foxes' first ever goal in the competition.

Last season's Premier League champions were assured and composed and the scoreline reflected just how easy it was for them in the Jan Breydel Stadium on Wednesday.

They were beaten 4-1 by Liverpool on Saturday and have lost twice in the league already this season but victory in Belgium on Wednesday left Ranieri delighted.
