Cifuentes cannot accept Foxes' second-half drop-off

Marti Cifuentes has taken 17 points from his first 10 games in charge of Leicester

Leicester City head coach Marti Cifuentes says their second half showing against Portsmouth was not good enough as the Foxes drew again.

John Swift's equaliser cancelled out Aaron Ramsey's first Leicester goal as the Foxes suffered a fifth stalemate in six games.

And just like in the home game against Wrexham last month, Cifuentes' team could not capitalise on taking a first half lead to see the game out.

"We had a very good first half with a lot of good moments, a lot of good sequences of play," the Spaniard told BBC Radio Leicester.

"We spoke at half-time about the need of scoring one or two more goals because it doesn't matter how dominant you are in the Championship, the games can shift quick.

"The second half was not good. We tried to play too much centrally, we had some turnovers, we conceded some counter attacks and the goal was exactly like this.

"We had this attitude that I like, to chase until the end and we had these couple of good chances but we need to accept that the second half was not at the level we expected."
