Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers admitted some relief after their 1-1 draw with Burnley.

Rodgers hailed Kasper Schmeichel as one of the Premier League's best goalkeepers after the Dane produced several fine saves to help Leicester avoid defeat at Burnley.

"He's been brilliant for me in my time here, there's moments where it looks like it's going to be a goal and he pulls off a save," said Rodgers. "His concentration and his desire to stop the ball going in the net is so good.

"He always produces for us, he's absolutely outstanding when he had to be here. That's why he's one of the top keepers at this level.

"We made an awful start in the game to concede so early, that always tests your mentality and spirit, but I thought we came into the game, showed good moments of quality in the first half.

"When we were playing and breaking through we looked a real threat and we were unfortunate not to have won the game, with Youri hitting a post. But if you can't win it you take your point and move on."
