Leicester City striker Islam Slimani, who has been bestowed upon with the nickname, 'The Dragon Slayer' for his continuous scoring feats against Porto secured the win for his team thanks to a 25-minute header to make it two wins from two in Group G. This is Leicester's first ever Champions League home game.
Slimani and Porto with former club Sporting Lisbon have now scored seven goals in seven career appearances against The Dragons. Eight years ago on the previous day, Leicester had beaten Hartlepool United 1-0 in an unremarkable English third-tier game at the King Power Stadium.
Having won 3-0 at Club Brugge in their opening group fixture, Leicester City fans will already be dreaming of a place in the last 16.
