Jamie Vardy hails "perfect start" to Champions League for Leicester City

Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy puts his side's 3-0 win at Club Brugge in the Champions League down to the fearlessness shown by each player on the field.

Jamie Vardy has claimed that Leicester City played with "no fear" as they began life on the big European stage with a comprehensive 3-0 win at Club Brugge.

The Foxes stunned their opponents by scoring three unanswered goals, meaning just a third win in nine attempts in Europe and a first ever in the Champions League.

Vardy failed to get his own name on the scoresheet, as Riyad Mahrez scored twice - the second coming from the penalty spot shortly after the hour - to add to Marc Albrighton's early opener on a night to remember for the reigning Premier League champions.

Speaking to BT Sport after the match, the England international said: "It's the perfect start. We showed exactly what we can do. No fear, we just played our football and let that do the talking."

Leicester top the early Group G standings as Porto and Copenhagen played out a 1-1 draw in their match elsewhere on Wednesday evening.
