Morgan: 'Winning group is great achievement'

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has described his side's first-place finish in Champions League Group G as an "amazing achievement".

The Premier League champions have struggled domestically so far this season, but have collected 13 points from a possible 15 in their maiden Champions League campaign to guarantee a place in the last 16 as group winners.

Their position was secured courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Club Brugge this evening, and Morgan admits that the team have surpassed their own expectations.

"It is a fantastic feeling to reach the last 16. It is more than we could ever imagine," he told BT Sport.

"For Leicester to be newcomers and finish group winners it is an amazing achievement. A great result and a great performance."

Leicester will face Porto away in their final group game on December 7.
