LEICESTER needed just five minutes to open their Champions League account as Marc Albrighton struck to make Foxes history.
Claudio Ranieri’s men are competing for the first time in Europe’s elite competition, and face a tricky task away to Belgian giants Club Brugge.


But Albrighton has made Leicester’s task a tad smoother by helping himself to their first-ever Champions League goal in true fairytale fashion
Brugge failed to deal with a long throw from new signing Luis Hernandez, with Han Vanaken heading it right over his own goalie’s hands.
And Albrighton was there to tap in at close range, much to the delight of the travelling supporters.
