Leicester midfielder Albrighton: Silly Newcastle defeat won't derail top 4 push

Leicester City midfielder Marc Albrighton insists their Champions League push isn't about to collapse.

The Foxes suffered a surprise 4-2 defeat to Newcastle on Friday to dent their top-four hopes.

“Mistakes have cost us, mistakes that we're not normally used to seeing," said the winger, whose side face Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham in their final Premier League games.

“It's frustrating, it's disappointing. We've got to pick ourselves up.

“We've got three games left and we're in a great position. We can't let one silly performance, one silly result, stop us."
