    FT: Leicester 4-1 Randers

    Leicester City

    More from Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BT Sport: "Their goal was a reminder that is you make any mistakes, no matter how dominant you are, you can be punished. Teams at this level can hurt you. It was about keeping calm and keeping our football flowing, creating and taking chances.

    "We should have won against West Ham, I felt. And in some other games we have had draws when we should have won. This group will get back to its level, it is just time and players coming back. The fluency was good, We looked dynamic.

    "Our goal for the remainder of the season is to finish as high as we can in the league, to keep developing, improving and to get players back. We want to finish as string as we can and bring that into the following season. In this competition, everyone is in it to win it and we are no different."

  3. 'James Maddison feels fine'published at 22:20 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2022

    FT: Leicester 4-1 Randers

    Leicester City

    Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers, speaking to BT Sport: "He [James Maddison] wasn't feeling well so we took him off. He is in with the medics and he feels fine. Caglar [Soyuncu] has a sore knee so we will see how he is tomorrow.

    "We are disappointed with the goal we conceded right on half-time but I think we continued right on from our game with West Ham. Our mantra, in terms of being positive with the ball and progressive. I thought we started well in the first half and created numbers of opportunities in the first and second half. Their keeper has made some fantastic saves. But I am delighted. It is obviously only the first game but to get the four goals and create so much was very encouraging."

    FT: Leicester 4-1 Randers

    Leicester City

    Leicester midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, speaking to BT Sport: "I thought we were dominant throughout the game. We showed a professional performance tonight. We concede late at the weekend and we wanted to show more professionalism in this game and I thought we controlled the game and should have scored more goals.

    "I had a couple of chances in the first half and to be fair to the keeper, he has made a couple of good saves. I thought it would be one of those nights. But I stuck at it and I'm thankful I got one in the end.

    "I am loving it. I am a kid playing for his boyhood club. It is a dream come true. Every minute I spend on the pitch I will give the best I can because I am proud to play for this club. I know the results will come and it is exciting times ahead.

    "We wanted to give the crowd something to be happy about. We got the win and they can go home happy. We know this is a great opportunity to secure European football again. We go into this tournament pushing ourselves as hard as we can to win it."

    The main worry now for Leicester will be the fitness of James Maddison, who went off after dropping to the turf with what looked like dizziness.
