Leicester boss Rodgers heaps praise on Barnes after Burnley win

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise on midfielder Harvey Barnes.

The latter was in sensational form as the Foxes raced to a 4-2 win at home against Burnley.

It was Rodgers' 100th Premier League win as manager.

But he reserved all the plaudits for Barnes instead.

"Harvey Barnes was outstanding tonight, he keeps on getting into areas you want him to and is a big talent," Rodgers told the BBC.

"He has wonderful ability, great running power, lasts the whole game, takes you up the pitch from deep possession and is improving all the time."
