Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri believes that his players reacted "very well" after their Champions League midweek travels with a 3-0 win against Burnley.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has hailed his side's 3-0 win against Burnley on Saturday, saying that his players reacted "very well" after their Champions League debut in midweek.

The Foxes stormed to a 3-0 victory in Belgium and they claimed the same scoreline at the King Power Stadium, Islam Slimani bagging a brace and Clarets defender Ben Mee scoring an own goal.

Ranieri said after the game: "I am very happy with the result and the performance of the players. I was curious to see how my players reacted after the Champions League and they reacted very well. After the victory in the Champions League, it was very important to continue in the Premier League.

"We scored three goals and Islam Slimani scored twice. I think our fans are very happy. It's important Slimani continues to score because if he only scores in the first match we have a problem. He is a good lad and very happy."

The result sees Leicester climb to ninth in the Premier League table.
