Leicester attacker Barnes defiant after Fulham defeat: We're too good to go down

Leicester City attacker Harvey Barnes insists they'll stay up after their 5-3 defeat at Fulham.

The result sees Leicester drop back into the bottom three.

Barnes said, "The goals we conceded is something we need to have a look at, we can't do that.

"We have the rest of the week to sit down and look at what is going wrong as a team. We have to get to the bottom of it and give ourselves the best chance going into the last few games.

"We have quality but there's no easy way to say what has been going wrong. There's obviously multiple things that haven't quite clicked for us. Our performances haven't been there this year.

"Three left now, we have to forget about today, move on quickly and try and change things around.

"The fans support us every week and performances like that are not acceptable. We know that. Hopefully we can get that continued support for the last three games, we will need it. "You need to know what is going on in the league, you want to check up and see what is going on in the league but it can't be our focus. It is down to our performances."

Asked if Leicester can stay up, Barnes added: "100%. We have the quality in the side. I am sure people will be looking at us and wondering why are in this situation. We just need to put three good performances together and we can do that for sure."
