Leicester Wins on PKs After Trading Spectacular Goals with Celtic

This may be a set of friendlies, but man, do they look good.

Leicester may have taken the beginning of the summer off to do some spectacular partying in the wake of their (highly, highly improbable) crowning as EPL champions, but they're ready to show what kind of form they can whip into after defeating Celtic on penalties in their International Champions Cup match today.

Regular-season hero Riyad Mahrez opened Leicester's account in their International Champions Cup match against Celtic with the blistering curler, above. He took on two defenders after a long ball was played down the right flank, and struck the ball with pace for a perfect curl into the net.

But Celtic had an answer of their own, as a loose ball juggled out to defender Eoghan O'Connell outside the 18-yard box, and he absolutely hammered it home to the right post, only to ricochet into the back netting for a huge sigh of relief.

But because we need closure, the game went go to PKs. Leicester closed out the match at 6-5, proving that they just don't care for losing right now.
