Japan international striker Shinji Okazaki opened his account with Premier League club Leicester City on Saturday, netting the winner as the Foxes came from 2-0 down to beat second-tier Birmingham City 3-2 in a preseason friendly.

Leicester started brightly but two goals in the space of a minute midway through the second half, an unstoppable free kick from David Cotterill and a screamer from Demarai Gray, put Birmingham in the driver's seat.

But just before the hour mark, Robert Huth arrived at the far post to convert a corner that was flicked on by Andy King and Danny Drinkwater slotted home to equalize from close range after Riyad Mahrez's curling free kick, won by Okazaki three minutes after he had entered the game, came back off the woodwork.
