Riyad Mahrez's goal was enough for City against Copenhagen six years ago.

Riyad Mahrez's flicked effort was the difference for Leicester City as they sealed a 1-0 victory over Copenhagen in October 2016, before drawing 0-0 in Denmark a month later. The Foxes went on to win their group in the UEFA Champions League and ultimately reach the quarter-finals stage.
