Leicester boss Claude Puel admits tears after victory at Cardiff

Leicester City boss Claude Puel admits there were a lot of tears after victory at Cardiff City.

Demarai Gray proved the matchwinner as Leicester City honoured the memory of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

“I think we share this emotion," Puel said. “A lot of staff [and] players cried, fans also. After the game it was a good thing, this result, it's fantastic to honour our Chairman and together to share in our grief.

“It's important now to continue. When we saw all the images of the flowers around the stadium, it's fantastic. These tributes show the kindness, the warmth of the owner, and he liked to share a lot of things.

“He was close to everyone and it's a good feeling to start this tribute with a win, of course."
