Porto crush hapless Leicester to inflict heaviest defeat ever for an English side in the European Cup
Portuguese side ease into the knockout stages with a rampant win over Leicester’s second-string side

Porto eased into the Champions League knockout stages on Wednesday with a 5-0 win over Leicester City’s hapless second-string side, who suffered the heaviest defeat ever by an English side in the European Cup.
With their qualification as group G victors assured, the English champions changed 10 of their first-team line-up, leaving their hosts to cash in hungrily with a double from Andre Silva and fine strikes from Jesus Corona, Yacine Brahimi and Diogo Jota.

The dismal performance prompted manager Claudio Ranieri, who has overseen a poor defence of the Foxes’ league title while thriving on European nights, to admit afterwards: “I want us to show our character and our strength. We didn’t do that well enough.
“I have a clearer idea about my players now.”
