Cifuentes 'frustrated' as Foxes foiled at the death

Marti Cifuentes has won only four of his 15 games in charge of Leicester

Leicester City head coach Marti Cifuentes was left "frustrated" after his side gave up a 96th-minute equaliser to draw at home to 10-man Middlesbrough.

Jordan Ayew's penalty in first-half injury time had them on course for only a second win in 10 league games until they were pegged back with the last attack of the match.

The draw ended a run of three successive defeats and while not what they wanted as they remain down in 13th in the table, Cifuentes was happy with many aspects of the Foxes' display.

"I'm very frustrated," the Spaniard told BBC Radio Leicester.

"It's a very cruel end, especially in a game where the guys showed a great attitude, great commitment, great work ethic. It's a tough one to take.

"We were very close to the three points. We were playing against a team that is in a good dynamic and is doing well at the start of the season and there are definitely things we need to improve. But in terms of energy and how the attitude was from the players, it was top.

"It's important to have this foundation in this league and if we can add the things that we can add, we can just get better."
