Kelechi Iheanacho was an unused substitute in the match while Semi Ajayi was on for ninety minutes, got a yellow card as his side began their Premier League campaign on a disappointing note.
A brace from last season’s top scorer, Jamie Vardy and new signing, Timothy Castagne ensured the Foxes secure all three points away from home as they look to secure a top four finish this season after they missed out on a top four finish last season on the final day.
