A slick second half performance from Leicester saw them beat Huddersfield 3-0 on New Year's Day, which also marked the long-awaited debut of Adrien Silva.

After a goalless opening half, it took Riyad Mahrez (53) just seven minutes of the second to net the opener before Islam Slimani (59) chipped home over Hudderfield goalkeeper Jonas Lossl.

Silva, who was officially registered by Leicester on January 1 and given permission to be included in the matchday 18 by the Premier League, came on for his debut in the 86th minute before Marc Albrighton (90+2) rounded off the scoring late on.
