Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers likened James Maddison to Kevin de Bruyne after victory over Fulham.

For the 2-0 win, Maddison sent a well-timed cross into the box which was headed past Alphonse Areola by Kelechi Iheanacho, before turning provider for James Justin to round the keeper and tap home to finish a another fine move.

"He's (Maddison) got immense quality, the cross that comes in, if it was Kevin De Bruyne everyone would be talking about it, an unbelievable cross," said Rodgers afterwards.

"He's created lots of moments for the team and we haven't quite got the finish... his skill on the edge of the box for the second goal, he is an absolutely outstanding young player and I am so happy he plays in my team."
