Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes got Leicester's goals, while Victor Osimhen managed a second-half double for Napoli.

Manager Rodgers spoke to reporters after the game, highlighting the contributions of his two summer signings.

He said, per Leicestershire Live: "Bouba I was delighted with. He had a really good 70 minutes. But he tired towards the end. It's his first start in a really high level game.

"He showed good composure and physicality. I was disappointed for him with the goal and the big celebration. He's always a threat and always looks to get into the box."
