Victory on debut for Foxes

The Leicester City fairytale has another chapter after they eased to a 3-0 away win in their Champions League debut on Wednesday, as Monaco beat Tottenham at Wembley in front of a record crowd for an English club.

Meanwhile, a rampant Borussia Dortmund smashed Legia Warsaw for six.

But the headlines will all be about Leicester, who stunned the football world last season when they went from relegation candidates to Premier League champions in the space of 12 miraculous months.

An away trip to Club Brugge of Belgium was not exactly the stuff of Leicester’s European dreams, but they showed some of the verve that has been missing so far this season as Riyad Mahrez struck twice, one of them a sumptuous free-kick and the other a penalty.

Much tougher tests surely await for the Foxes, but this was an accomplished, clinical performance in their first European outing since losing to Red Star Belgrade in the UEFA Cup first round in 2000.

Also in Group ‘G’ are Porto and FC Copenhagen, who played out a 1-1 draw in Portugal to leave Leicester top of the pile after the opening fixtures.

Current French league leaders Monaco were also notable winners on the night, stunning Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in an incident-packed encounter at “the home of football” in front of 85,011 fans — a record home attendance for an English club.

In Turin, Gonzalo Higuain, Paulo Dybala and Sami Khedira fired blanks as Sevilla held dominant but wasteful Juventus to a scoreless draw.
