​Mahrez dedicates Leicester win to sacked coach Shakespeare

Riyad Mahrez has dedicated Leicester City's 2-1 victory over Swansea City to former manager Craig Shakespeare.

Asked if the win was for Shakespeare, Mahrez said: "Of course. He was our manager and everyone loved him at the club.

"It was a surprise for us. But we have to try to honour the club because the most important thing is the club. We played good today and we deserved to win.

"It was a difficult week for us as everyone knows. It was good that we won today, it was an important game for us and for the club. I think we put everything on the side and we played our game and we got the three points."
