Premier League Champions, Leicester City started their 2016/17 campaign on a negative note after suffering a defeat to Hull City in the opening game of the season.

Later on, Hull had a chance on goal through a free kick taken by Robert Snodgrass, but his shot went wide off the mark.

Great team work from The Foxes saw them come close to taking the lead after a buildup from the midfield which saw Ahmed Musa make a through pass to Fuchs. Fuchs' shot on goal was blocked by the legs of goal keeper , Jakupovic before the threat was quickly dealt with by the defenders.

Minutes later, Ahmed Musa latched on to a way ward back pass from one of Hull's defenders - taking on another defender and finally making a pass to Jamie Vardy who wasn't able to put the ball at the back of the net from close range.

The deadlock was finally broken at the stroke of halftime after Diomande's bicycle kick found the back of the net thanks to an Abel Hernandez assist.

Two minutes later Hull City conceded a penalty (despite the foul occurring outside the penalty area) which Mahrez converted with ease.

Fifty seven minutes into the game, a powerful left-footed shot from Snodgrass found its way into Leicester City's goal post leaving goal keeper, Schmeichel rooted to the spot.
