Leicester City defender Harry Maguire says the players were delighted after victory over Brighton.

Watching on for the 2-1 win last night was new manager Brendan Rodgers.

The three points after seven defeats in nine games moved Leicester up from 12th to tenth, following Claude Puel's dismissal.

"We want to look up rather than down now," Maguire said. "The performances haven't been too bad but the results haven't been good enough.

"We're back to winning ways which is massive. We had to go out and enjoy ourselves but the three points was most important. It was nice to get the lead which we haven't done recently and hold on to get the win."
