Ghoulam made it 2-0 with another strike after 23 minutes before Leicester City forward Riyad Mahrez tripled the lead in the 43rd minute.
Four minutes after the break, Islam Sliman who scored twice in the first leg scored from the spot with Ghoulam completing his brace from another spot ten minutes later.
