Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes both struck twice, with Alejandro Garnacho also scoring for the hosts. The Foxes' goals came via Bilal El Khannouss and Conor Coady.

Van Nistelrooy said afterwards:  "I have to say we had some luck as well, I am so happy for Casemiro though and Garnacho and Bruno.

"Five goals but the chances against West Ham and Fenerbahce, we created so much and couldn't finish., All of a sudden we had some luck on our side and that made it a great night.

"It is always the target to react and attack. The reaction of players after the Leicester goals were excellent and they deserve the credit. I am glad the crowd go home happy."
