Islam Slimani kept up his hot streak against Porto by grabbing Leicester's first-half winner in a 1-0 victory in the Champions League on Tuesday, maintaining the English champions' 100 percent start to Group G. The Algeria striker headed home from close range off a pinpoint cross by international teammate Riyad Mahrez in the 25th minute. It was Slimani's sixth goal in four games against Porto in 2016, with the other five coming for Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese league before his offseason move to Leicester.
