​Leicester winger Albrighton happy with Huddersfield point

Leicester City attacker Marc Albrighton has expressed his happiness following the 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town.

City came back from a goal down to earn a draw against Huddersfield Town at the John Smith stadium on Saturday and following the game, Foxes star Albrighton has stated that he is happy with the point at the end.

Albrighton said: "I think we have to be pleased with a point after a performance we believe was below par. Huddersfield did to us what we normally do to other teams. They got in our faces and made it difficult for us.

"We didn't find a way around that. In the first half particularly we were poor, but in the second half we gave it a go. Conceding so early on is always a blow but getting back into the game so quickly afterwards is a credit to us. A point is probably a fair result.

"At half-time we said for some reason or another it just wasn't there. We won't get away with that against a lot of teams this year. Fortunately we hung in there. Last year we probably would have lost that game. We hung in there and got a point.

"It was a blow to concede so quickly in the second half because we spoke at half-time about winning the first and second balls. Straight away we didn't do that and we conceded. It was tough to take but we got back into the game and we needed to do that."
