Leicester City were handed a lesson as Porto strolled into the last 16 of the Champions League with a handsome 5-0 win.

Porto went into the match knowing victory would guarantee their progress and their greater need was evident from the outset against an under-strength Leicester side already assured of first place in Group G. Within six minutes André Silva had headed in from Jesús Corona’s corner and by half-time the fluent, confident home team had built an emphatic 3-0 lead.

It was Corona who doubled their advantage with a terrific volley before Yacine Brahimi made it three with a cute finish from Maxi Pereira’s cross. Leicester flickered into life briefly at the start of the second half but Porto had a fourth goal with Silva’s 65th-minute penalty after Danny Drinkwater had dragged him back, and Diogo Jota rounded off the scoring by drilling a late fifth past Ben Hamer.
