Happy Ranieri heartened by Leicester 'spirit'

Manager Claudio Ranieri said he had seen reassuring signs of the 'old' Leicester City after his team's 1-0 Champions League victory over Porto at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester's fairytale Premier League title success was built on a miserly defence, but it has suffered some heavy losses already this season, most recently losing 4-1 at Manchester United.

It produced a far more dogged display against Porto on Tuesday, with Islam Slimani's 25th-minute header and a spirited rearguard action helping to procure a second successive Group G win.
