Martin was particularly satisfied with the team’s work ethic, discipline and willingness to carry out his tactical instructions throughout the match.

The clean sheet was another positive, while the attacking display underlined the quality available within the squad as Leicester created numerous chances and finished clinically.

Although the result will give supporters plenty of encouragement, the Leicester boss knows there is still work to be done before the competitive season begins.

Pre-season remains focused on improving fitness, building partnerships across the pitch and ensuring every player is fully prepared for the challenges ahead.

A convincing win, another clean sheet and signs of growing confidence made it a productive afternoon for Martin and his players as preparations continue.
