Leicester City fans lit up the King Power Stadium in support of former manager Claudio Ranieri

Leicester fans paid tribute to former boss Claudio Ranieri during Monday's clash with Liverpool.

The King Power crowd used their mobile phones to light up the stadium in the 65th minute - a tribute to the 65-year-old Italian who was sacked last Thursday after leading the club to the first title in their history last season.

Many fans brought banners, wore masks and chanted Ranieri's name throughout a 3-1 victory which lifted the side out of the relegation zone.

Craig Shakespeare took interim charge of the side as Jamie Vardy scored twice and Danny Drinkwater scored a thunderbolt volley to secure Leicester's first victory of the calendar year.

And despite easing their relegation fears - Leicester now 15th, two points clear of the bottom three - the victory asks serious questions of the players, who rekindled the spirit of their title-winning season so soon after Ranieri was relieved of his duties.
