Leicester Edge Celtic
By Miles Abah:  Nigerian forward Ahmed
Musa posted an impressive performance on
Saturday for his new club Leicester City as
they defeated Celtic in their pre-season
International Champions Cup clash in at Celtic
Park, Glasgow.
The Premier League champions beat the Scottish Premiership champions 6-5 on penalties as full-time ended 1-1.                                                                                            Musa, who joined Leicester from Russian
champions CSKA Moscow this summer, came
on at the start of the second half in place of
Demarai Gray and made an impact.
Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose was also
on as a substitute for Mikael Lustig at the
start of the second half for Celtic.
However, it was Riyad Mahrez, who was
heavily linked with a move to Arsenal earlier in the day, who brought the match to life. Mahrez, the  Premier League Player of the
Year last season, scored the opening goal
with a 47th minute stunner.
The Algeria star did several stepovers to
confuse his marker before curling an
unstoppable shot beyond Craig Gordon in the
Celtic goal.                                                                                                              
Musa then almost added his own strike seven
minutes later, speeding onto a ball over the
Celtic defence, but Gordon just got there
before the Nigerian.
Celtic equalised in the 59th minute with a fine
finish from Eoghan O'Connell.
Leicester almost regained the lead when
Danny Drinkwater found Mahrez, who beat his
man, but his low ball was just behind Musa.
Both sides could not find a winner after 90
minutes and the match went straight into
penalties.
Leicester scored all their kicks, while Celtic
missed their first in sudden death after
scoring the first five.
Musa did not take a penalty.
