Rowett reacts to Oxford draw with Leicester

Boss Gary Rowett speaks to BBC Radio Oxford after Oxford United draw 2-2 with 10-man Leicester City.

When asked if felt like points dropped, he said: "A little bit. But if you look at that result against a former Premier League side, and one with lots of Premier League quality players and athletes, then I'd say overall you would be reasonably happy with a 2-2. But with the way the game goes, you always react to that.

"I thought we started the game fantastically well, I think for 25 minutes 11 v 11 we were the better side. We played really well and built on that Coventry performance, and I was really encouraged by that.

"We scored the early goal, then we made a mistake to let them back in it before having a little bit of fortune with the second goal, but nevertheless it comes off the back of a lot of pressure and good control.

"I'm disappointed with the second goal [conceded]. It was clinical from their perspective, but it was a giveaway from ours. It's those little moments that we need to have a little bit more to win there games."
