Leading Leicester have no secret to success says Drinkwater

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater insists there is no magic formula to the team's early-season successes.


The Foxes sit on top of the Premier League table after 13 matches courtesy of Saturday's 3-0 win at Newcastle United.

Claudio Ranieri has come in and had a positive impact on the East Midlands club but Drinkwater insists it goes no deeper than that as the players are simply working hard for each other to get the right results.

"We're just a solid team. We play to our strengths, try and not play to our weaknesses - it's not rocket science," he said.

"The gaffer's come in, changed a few things, improved a few things, it's working.

"It's hard to point to a fault at the minute. We're stopping going goals behind, started leading games and sticking it out. The more we do that the better."
