EPL: What Kelechi Iheanacho’s Leicester Manager Said After Win Over Aston Villa

Published

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says he is happy for his side to be left out of the Premier League title conversation after an eighth win on the bounce kept the Foxes second in the table.

Leicester thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 at Villa Park on Sunday to move back within eight points of league leaders Liverpool, who beat Bournemouth a day earlier.

Rodgers, whose side are six points clear of last season’s champions Manchester City, is happy for Leicester to keep going about their business under the radar.

“I don’t think anybody expects us to be anywhere near the top,” said Rodgers.

“After Manchester United won at Manchester City, a caption came up after the game about how far Manchester City are away from Liverpool.

“We respect that and we just get on with our job, get on with trying to play and improve our performance levels.”

The Northern Irishman has guided the Foxes to more points after 16 games of this season than they earned at the same point when they won the league under Claudio Ranieri in 2015-16.

Leicester face both Liverpool and Manchester City over the Christmas period.

“It’s just natural – Manchester City and Liverpool are both incredible teams in the league and have shown last year how good they were,” added Rodgers.

“For us, we know that we are constantly trying to improve and look to close the gap. But I thought today we looked like a top team.”
