The latest Leicester City news from Leicestershire Live as the Foxes reflect on defeat to Leeds United in the Championship

LEICESTER, ENGLAND – NOVEMBER 03: Leeds United celebrate after Georginio Rutter of Leeds United scores his teams first goal during the Sky Bet Championship match between Leicester City and Leeds United at The King

Leicester City defender Ricardo Pereira has given his reaction to Friday night’s defeat to Leeds United as City’s hopes of a 10th straight win were dashed.

Abdul Fatawu hit the crossbar with a brilliant effort and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall saw a stoppage time header saved as Leeds won it through Georginio Rutter’s 58th minute goal.

City remain top of the Championship and Ricardo is not over reacting to the result at the King Power Stadium.

“We’re disappointed,” he told the club website after the game. “I think we played well. We knew they were good in transitions. I think we dealt well with that but that’s football, sometimes it happens.

“There were a lot of good things in the game, but we’re disappointed with the result. If (Dewsbury-Hall’s chance) goes in, it’s a different game, but the ‘keeper made a very good save. We had some chances, but this happens.”

“It was a good game, they have very good players. It was difficult to find space. We tried to keep the ball as much as we could, to control the game and the transitions, to not give them chances to play because if give them space to play, they’re very good players.

“We knew, if we played their game on the transition, it would be tough for us because we could not control the game. We were patient. We’ll analyse the game. Even when we win, we’ll analyse to see the things we could improve, the things we didn’t do as well as we wanted.

“This game will be the same. Of course, the disappointment will be there because it wasn’t the result we wanted, but we keep going. It’s a long run and there’s a lot of games to go.”
