Pereira urges Leicester to rally after Palace setback

Ricardo Pereira has urged Leicester City to rally after defeat at Crystal Palace.

Pereira scored in the 2-1 loss and was speaking before today's departure of manager Brendan Rodgers.

He told LCFC TV: "It's a tough one to take.

"With one minute to the end, we [concede] a goal. It was hard game, a difficult game. We suffered in the game. When we had time with the ball, we did good things but then, unfortunately, with a free-kick from nowhere, we're unlucky.

"Then it's the details that are making the difference. We need to do better.

"We have to go again. We have two games at home and in two days we have a big chance to put things in a good shape for us. We have to move fast and switch [focus] because in two days you have another game. You cannot [dwell] on this game."
