Leicester boss Marti Cifuentes believes his side "should have done better" after they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties by Huddersfield at the first round stage.

The Foxes led twice at the Accu Stadium, only to be pulled back by their League One opponents, and the 43-year-old spoke of his frustration after the game.

"Disappointed in the performance, disappointed obviously in the final score and I think we should have done better, Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.

"Unfortunately, I think the first half was poor and we should never have conceded the two goals like we did.

"My feeling in the first half was we were very slow - we spoke about it at half-time that against oppositions that perhaps are not that aggressive on the press we need to make sure that we move the ball quicker.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't move the ball quick and then we went too long.

"Every time we lost the ball we couldn't react quickly enough to regain the ball immediately and that created an up and down game."
