Brendan Rodgers claims Leicester proved they can compete with the best in the Europa League after draw with 'favourites' Napoli... despite blowing 2-0 lead

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers believes his side proved they can compete with the best in the Europa League despite blowing a 2-0 lead to draw with Napoli.

Victor Osimhen's second-half double earned the Italians a 2-2 draw to deny the Foxes victory in their opening Group C game.

The striker levelled with three minutes left having pulled a goal back after Ayoze Perez and Harvey Barnes gave Leicester the advantage.

Wilfred Ndidi was also sent off in injury time for a second yellow card to add to the Foxes' woes.
