Leicester City have taken like a duck (or fox?) to water in the Champions League, with the Premier League champions making light work of the group stages in their maiden campaign.
On Tuesday, the Foxes secured a deserved 2-1 home win against Club Brugge to reach the heady heights of the knockout stages.
Leicester needed just a point from the game with Brugge to make it to the Group stages, but ultimately they would secure a victory which means they will finish sitting pretty atop Group C.
Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring early on, deftly finishing from a superb Christian Fuchs centre.

Riyad Mahrez then netted his fourth Champions League, via a penalty kick after Marc Albrighton was felled in the box.

The Belgians did get one back in the second-half, with Joze Izquierdo’s fine solo effort ending Leicester’s run of clean sheets in the competition.
