Watch: Leicester City score their first ever Champions League goal

Leicester City finally gets to play in the Champions League following last year’s dream run to a league Championship and wasted no time making an impact. Mark Albrighton scored only five minutes into their first match with Club Brugge.

Leicester was not bothered by the bright lights of the Champions League when they visited the Belgian city. A long throw deep in the Brugge half  found the head of a defender who flicked it beyond his own keeper. Albrighton was there to easily find the back of the net, despite being pulled down by a Brugge player.

Leicester has since scored again to go up 2-0 in their Champions League debut. Mahrez gets the goal this time at the half hour mark.
