The Foxes went into the game following a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa, but it only took them 29 minutes to get going on Thursday night.

Brendan Rodgers side took the lead through James Maddison, who finished off a ball from Iheanacho. Leicester then doubled their lead on the stroke of time through Harvey Barnes with Iheanacho providing the assist once again.

The Nigerian capped his performance with Leicester’s third in the 67th minute of the encounter. The win put Leicester City joint top with SC Braga in Group G.

Next up for Brendan Rodgers side is a Premier League clash against Arsenal on Sunday before travelling to Greece capital next Thursday to take on AEK Athens in their second group game.
