Leicester City has qualified to the Round 16 stages of the Uefa Champions League for the first time in the history of the club after beating Club Bruges 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Playing the champions league for the first time after winning the English Premier league, Leicester recorded an amazing 13 points to top their group and qualify to the next stage where they face a tougher challenge.

Leicester booked their place in the last 16 of the Champions league with victory over Bruges in Group G 

Shinji Okazaki fired the hosts in front when he met Christian Fuchs' cross in the fifth minute of the game. 

Riyad Mahrez doubled the Foxes' advantage from the spot after Marc Albrighton had been brought down.

Jose Izequierdo pulled a goal back for the visitors with a stunning solo effort in the second half and Claudio Ranieri's side held out to seal the win despite a late onslaught and secure top spot.

However, Tottenham crushed out of the competition after their 2-1 defeat to Monaco in their game.
