Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was happy after their 2-0 defeat of Southampton.

James Maddison and Harvey Barnes struck for the Foxes.

Schmeichel later said, "They are a very good side. We have to win ugly and it was today. It wasn't pretty. We dug in. It was good to see we can win that way.

"I don't look at the table. It doesn't mean anything at this stage. We'll see when it comes to the business end.

"It's a big couple of days for the club. It was important to start with three points. The league is so tight that six points can be the difference between first or second and seventh or eighth."
