Leicester City boss Brendan Rogers has said he does not "even know" what the Europa Conference League is.
Rogers told BT Sports: "I've got to be honest I don't even know what the competition is. But I am sure I will find out soon enough."
The Partenopei took the lead early in the 4th minute through Adam Ounas and went ahead to extend the lead in the 24th minute via Eljis Elmas after converting Andrea Petagna's assist.

Elmas sealed victory for the hosts in the 53rd minute.
