Leicester City beat Premier League opening-day opponents Everton 1-0 in Bangkok, with a Gary Taylor-Fletcher goal winning a pre-season friendly for the Foxes.

Leicester City have overcome Everton in a pre-season friendly as the Foxes won 1-0 in Thailand.

A Gary Taylor-Fletcher tap-in on the 54th minute was enough to separate the two sides after Leicester had previously had a goal ruled out for offside.

After a goalless first half, Leicester had the ball in the net, but after a smart finish from David Nugent was ruled out by the assistant referee's flag.

Leicester took the lead in the second half after some good wing-play left Taylor-Fletcher in front of goal to steer the ball in.

Everton failed to take a number of chances as the Foxes held on for a 1-0 victory in Bangkok.

The two sides will face each other on the opening day of the Premier League season at the King Power Stadium.
