Leicester 3-0 Zorya Luhansk: James Maddison bags goal on his European debut and Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho also on target in winning Europa League Group G start for Brendan Rodgers' men

James Maddison delivered a huge boost to Leicester with a performance that hinted he is close to his best again after months of injury frustration.

The England midfielder was on target along with Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho as the Foxes began their Europa League campaign with a routine win over Zorya Luhansk.

Maddison's absence for much of the post-lockdown period, due to a hip problem, may have cost Leicester their place in the Champions League. Even though he scored a brilliant goal in the 5-2 win over Manchester City, this was the first time this term that Maddison has looked match sharp.
