'No hiding from poor performance' - Cifuentes

Leicester City boss Marti Cifuentes says there is "no hiding" after his side were convincingly beaten 3-0 at Southampton on Tuesday night.

"It's a disappointing night, both the result and performance," Cifuentes told BBC Radio Leicester.

"The first goal had too much impact. It doesn't matter that it's a clear offside, we didn't react well after that.

"I am disappointed because it is not what we wanted to offer to our fans. It's not easy to come here, it's a long trip. We wanted to give them something else in terms of the performance and points.

"We're going to try again on Saturday [against Sheffield United]. There is no hiding when you have such a performance, you need to look at yourself, be very critical and analyse what went wrong."

The Foxes played almost an hour with 10 men after teenager Olabade Aluko was sent off after 33 minutes on his first league start for the club.

Cifuentes added: "He [Aluko] will be stronger after this, we will be here to help him. I am sure he will be a good player for us. I trust him, he has been playing well for us and we think he's a very good player."
