Leicester City celebrated their first ever Champions League match by romping to victory away to Belgium's Club Brugge.

Marc Albrighton scored with the Foxes' first shot after a defensive error from right-back Luis Hernandez's long throw.

Riyad Mahrez curled in a masterful free-kick for 2-0 before half-time.

Mahrez smashed in a penalty after Jamie Vardy was brought down by the keeper before Brugge's Jose Izquierdo hit the post, adding to his bad miss at 0-0.

There will be more difficult games than this, but the Premier League champions displayed a maturity and composure that suggests potential to achieve plenty more success at the elite level of European club football.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero announced his return to the side with a hat trick in their 4-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach in their rescheduled match.

Another English side, Tottenham marked their return to the European competition after 5 years with a  2-1 loss to Monaco at Wembley. In other matches, late efforts from Cristiano Ronaldo and Alvaro Morata saw Champions Real Madrid come from behind to beat Sporting Lisbon 2-1, as Juventus played to a barren draw with Europa league champions' Sevilla.
