Leicester roll along with Rotherham victory

Leicester City continued their undefeated pre-season run under manager Claudio Ranieri, beating Rotherham United 2-1 on Wednesday.

Riyad Mahrez's long range strike opened the scoring for the Foxes on 52 minutes before David Nugent doubled the advantage from the edge of the box 20 minutes later.

Rotherham pulled one back through Grant Ward on 80 minutes, but the Millers couldn't complete the comeback. Leicester will play Birmingham City in another friendly on Saturday, before opening their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on August 8.
