Leicester City attacker James Maddison has criticized claims that his side were not good enough against Southampton.

Brendan Rodgers' side were beaten 1-0 by the relegation threatened Saints.

Such a result could even suck Leicester back into the relegation dogfight, after they did not manage a single shot on target in the game.

Responding to an article written by The Athletic, Maddison tweeted: “Rubbish.

“Watch and analyse the game properly and stop writing headlines like that which you know makes fans pile on with negativity.

“Play like that and we'll be absolutely fine.

“Created numerous brilliant chances and win comfortably on another day."
