Leicester City were accused of lacking hunger and aggression - by one of their own players.

James Maddison, who is enjoying an excellent season on a personal level, was furious at how his team lost 5-3 to Fulham on Monday.

Despite scoring thrice and missing a penalty, the Foxes got nothing from the game and are still in the relegation zone.

Maddison told reporters post-game: “Big game for us and we were not at it. We were not hungry enough to want to win the game. We need to do the basics well. We were not aggressive enough.“

He then wrote on Twitter: "What is wrong with social media, say one thing in an interview straight after a game and it gets taken way out of context. When I say not hungry enough I mean aggressive and on the front foot in duels, not us wanting to win or realising the importance.

"We were not good enough today and we've only got ourselves to blame and apologise for that. But as someone who sees the work we are doing every single day to try and put this right, it's not down to attitude or application. We will keep going until the very end."
