Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton pays tribute to girlfriend's mum tragically killed in Tunisia terrorist attack



Leicester City winger Marc Albrighton says the tragic death of his girlfriend's mother in the Tunisian terrorist attack in June puts everything in perspective after his magnificent performance this weekend.
The former Aston Villa man was in fine form for Claudio Ranieri's side as the Foxes swept Sunderland away with a breathless display to emerge as 4-2 victors on the opening day of the new Premier League campaign,The former England under-21s ace, who signed for the East Midlands club last summer, ran towards his
family in the stands, gesturing up at the sky, after scoring Leicester's fourth of the afternoon.
"At the minute we have my girlfriend's brother Conor Fulford living with us. He was getting into me last night saying you need a celebration, you need to do something for my mum.
"We were wracking our brains and couldn't think. Chloe has been saying her mum has been up there putting a few things right and she has definitely helped me out today."
Albrighton was brought into the set-up at Leicester by former manager Nigel Pearson, but says new boss Ranieri is settling in well after his surprise appointment last month.
"It has been brilliant, he noticed we did well towards the end of the season so he has not changed too much. He has come in and put his mark on the side and come in with a couple of fresh ideas.
"We are working on them and it showed today it worked. Especially today we felt confident attacking and felt like we could create something and get goals every time we were going forward.
"When you feel like that and are in a confident mood it is only good for the team."
