Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was satisfied with their 1-1 draw with Watford.

Leicester fullback Ben Chilwell and Watford's Craig Dawson traded excellent stoppage-time goals as a largely tepid lunchtime Premier League encounter exploded into late life at an empty Vicarage Road.

Rodgers said: "It is different but there is still an edge in the game. I am pleased for the players who showed good fitness levels. In the second half we looked like the team who would win it. We get a brilliant goal and are unfortunate for the corner, Craig Dawson makes a good finish but it hits the defender's toe and loops up. We have to accept that and move on.

"Ben Foster has made some good saves and our intensity was building. The creativity was there. It was always going to be difficult but I'm proud of the team's fitness. It is just unfortunate in the end.

"I thought Demarai Gray was outstanding when he came on. Strategically you are always looking to when you can bring the fitness into the team. We changed things but I felt for the players to concede so late through some bad luck. But it is OK. Hopefully it will be a good point for us at the end of the season.

"When you have Ben Chilwell's quality, it is worthy of winning the game. It is important that full-backs cam contribute like that."
