He’s a character, and he’s definitely there. What I am enjoying, is helping him become an exciting Premier League player. The fans love him, and rightly so. We’ve just got to push him to become the player he can become.”
On the combeack victory: “What a way to win a football match. It’s definitely one for the supporters who go through a lot of emotions. I have a lot of respect for them. Let’s hope today is a memorable day of the season, and one which we can look back on. “
“I’m not going to ignore the first half. That will be addressed. We conceded some poor goals, but I always felt like we were in the game.”
“I walked down the tunnel at half-time, genuinely thinking this game was not over. It was more about believing in our work. We committed to that task, and did what we did.”
“We let them get into areas too easy, and we did not defend the box enough. My job is to look at the whole picture. I want us to get better, and we will.”
“We got up the pitch, but we were not calm enough when we got up there. That changed”
“It’s a good trait that we are showing. What a brilliant example how we need everybody, and everybody is going to play a part this year. A great sign of togetherness and belief. Let’s stay on that positive journey”

We did well, we fought, we pushed them and pushed ourselves as well and got the three points. Onto the next one."
On the change between the two halves: "I just think there was more desire, more intent, more positivity in our mindset. That's what made a difference."
On staying on the edge of the box for his goal: "It was just natural instinct. Luckily the ball came, it wasn't easy but I managed to score. We're all happy and hopefully there is more to come.
"Everyone was happy and that's what we play football for, these kinds of moments."
On getting back to back wins: "We just need to stay humble because we were losing 2-0 so all is not perfect. It's not going to be every weekend like this, it's going to be tough. But we have a quality group, we believe in ourselves, we believe in our manager. We are going to give our best for the club."
On their strength in depth: "We are a group of 25 or 26 players and everyone will play a part this season. It's not only 11 players and we all need to stay positive and work hard for the team."
Image source, Getty ImagesSteve Cooper spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Leicester's victory against Southampton: "I always felt we were in the game in the first half, we should do better with the goals and some bits tactically but I always felt we were more than in the game.
"We missed a couple of good chances, hit the woodwork, but obviously you are 2-0 down and there is a real job to do.
"At half-time it was about belief and sticking together and really believing that the game wasn't over. In the second half, we showed our quality, we showed our aggression in the game, and completely controlled the second half and looked like the team who were going to score and score again.
"In the end, the way that you win hopefully becomes a memorable day for the team, the staff and most importantly the supporters."
On Abdul Fatawu's role: "He's not started for a few games now, he's an exciting young player who is transitioning into becoming a Premier League player and that isn't always straightforward. He took his opportunities, he's really taken on board some of the bits we're helping with. It was a really good show of Abdul and what he can offer."
On the impact of the red card and penalty: "There was still a lot of time to go in the game to believe the chances would come and we just left it right to the end. I haven't seen the decisions, but we were due a couple of good decisions if you look at our season so far."
On getting back to back wins: "Back to back wins for a newly promoted team - and I try not to say that too much because of Leicester's standing - is hard to come by. Home and away, six points, really gives us a lot of reference points to kick on, continue to improve and hopefully win more games sooner or later."

Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League matches this season, against a variety of guests.
For week eight, he takes on legendary boxing manager Kellie Maloney.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
A win would be massive for both teams, given they are both in the bottom six, but especially for Southampton boss Russell Martin.
So much has been made of his brand of football that, despite him doing so well to get them promoted, their fans will eventually start to turn against him unless he gets some points on the board - at the moment they only have one.
Leicester, meanwhile, did get their first victory of the campaign last time out. It was a good win over Bournemouth, but I wonder if that will count for as much because all their players jetted off afterwards. The Foxes probably did not want the international break.
Leicester won 9-0 here in October 2019, but this time it is going to be a lot tighter. A draw is not much good to Foxes manager Steve Cooper either, but that is what I am going with.
Kellie's prediction: Southampton need a win but I think Leicester will take this one. 0-1
