I did that and I managed to get in behind quite a lot.

It was Leicester’s first league win of the year, ending a run of five successive Premier League defeats, and came on a night when the Leicester fans chanted Ranieri’s name in the 65th minute and stood to applaud the Italian, who was sacked on Thursday amid claims on unrest in the dressing room.
