Leicester City boss Claude Puel hailed their unity for victory at Chelsea.

Jamie Vardy scored the only goal of the game early in the second half.

“We played this game with confidence and the right mentality away at Chelsea, a good team with great players," Puel said at full-time.

“In this game, we played with a fantastic togetherness. Perhaps in the first half, we were disappointed because we could have used the ball with more quality.

“We wasted some good opportunities in the first half but our togetherness and our defensive aspect was fantastic. We scored a goal with a fantastic move and I was happy for Jamie.

“It was a clinical goal and fantastic service from Maddy [James Maddison] also. We continued to defend like a team with 11 players with the mentality to keep this result."

That togetherness - which saw all players put their bodies on the line to defend in the latter moments - was the most pleasing factor for Puel to reflect on in his post-match assessment.

“It's a fantastic reward for the team because we managed this game very well," Puel added. “We were a little lucky in the end when they hit the post, but I am happy for the players."
