'It's something I will never forget' - Marc Albrighton on scoring Leicester's first ever Champions League goal

Leicester winger Marc Albrighton admits his career turnaround is a dream after scoring the Foxes' first historic Champions League goal.

The 26-year-old wrote himself into Foxes folklore when he opened the scoring in Wednesday's 3-0 win at Club Brugge after just five minutes.

Riyad Mahrez's brace sealed a deserved Group G win for dominant Leicester on their debut in the competition after last season's shock Premier League win.

It also capped Albrighton's revival after he was released by Aston Villa in 2014 before helping the Foxes to the title in May as his former club won just three games and were relegated from the top flight for the first time since 1987.
