Jamie Vardy got his Leicester City side to a good start in their opening Premier League fixture after beating West Bromich Albion by 3-0 at The Hawthorns.

The former Golden Boot winner scored a brace as Timothy Castagne converted a chance in his debut for the Foxes.

The first half of the game ended goalless with West Brom doing much of the running early on but Leicester had the chances and were unable to convert them.

Castagne scored the opener in the 56-minute after connecting Praet cross to become the 10th player to score on his club PL debut and the the fifth different Belgian player to score on his Premier League debut, after Luc Nilis, Thomas Vermaelen, Christian Benteke and Leandro Trossard.

Vardy doubled the lead in the 74-minute through a penalty. The Foxes forward was fouled in the box by Barnes before referee Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot.

The visitors changed their formation shape from a back four to five but that did not affect their game play, denying not Jamie Vardy his second on the afternoon from the spot after James Justin was caught inside the box by O'Shea.

Vardy has two goals and trails Mohamed Salah who scored a hat trick on Saturday.
