    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    Leicester care-taker boss Michael Appleton speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "It is very difficult when you lose the manager.

    "I wasn't sure what response we would get. The game should have been outside in the first 20 minutes really but obviously the goalkeeper had a fantastic game."

    On Riyad Mahrez: "I think his work rate was fantastic. The only thing that was missing from his performance was a goal.

    "He did ever so well for us and was important for the team."

    On his future as manager: "For me it's about staying in the role I have already been given and obviously I would love to stay on after that."

  5. 'Frustrating' defeatpublished at 17:23 British Summer Time 21 October 2017

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    Swansea manager Paul Clement speaking to Match of the Day: "It was frustrating. The first half was too open and we got caught in between not pressing high enough and not being compact enough.

    "When we went 2-0 down it did become open. We got back in it and pushed up to the end. It's easier to do it when you have to chase the score line.

    "I'm disappointed to have gone backwards today. There is some nervousness around the stadium.

    "We have to be able to deal with that."

    All of Fabianski's saves came in the first half.

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    Leicester were relentless in the first-half and Swansea were always going to be on the back foot after conceding that own goal.

    Alfie Mawson's second-half goal for Swansea looked set to spark a comeback but it wasn't to be for the hosts!

    Side-netting!

    Time is running out here but Swansea have been getting closer to an equaliser.

    Leicester still pose a threat on the break.

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    The free-kick comes to nothing and Leicester can break.

    Mahrez is running at the Swansea defence with pace but Tom Carroll puts in an excellent tackle to stop him going any further.

    It's a very open game now...

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    Wayne Routledge is on for Renato Sanches. It was another lack-lustre display from the loannee.

  18. CHANCE!published at 77 mins

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    Vardy should have scored.

    He goes through one-on-one with Fabianski but when he opens his body up to slot the ball to the right, it's far too easy for the Swansea keeper to detect.

    Mahrez follows up the rebound with a strike from the edge of the area but Fabianski is down low to stop it from creeping in.

    Swansea 1-2 Leicester

    The game is very much in the balance now as both sides are trying to keep the ball and doing so with relatively little success.

    A goal for Leicester will be a huge boost for Appleton's side but Swansea are still looking for that equaliser...
