Rodgers disappointed after Leicester showed 'youthfulness' in Fulham defeat

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers admits Monday's loss to Fulham shows his team still have plenty of work to do.

The Foxes had the chance to go equal top with a victory but instead went down 2-1 to the struggling Cottagers.

"It was a disappointing first half for us," Rodgers said. "We were not very good in our counter-pressing. We made mistakes in our defensive moments and in this league, if you give away opportunities, it can be very difficult.

"In the second half, we were a bit better but did not show enough creativity. Fulham deserved to win - they punished us and we weren't good enough to break them down. We're a young side and we've had some very good performances. Evenings like this show the youthfulness of the team and we've still got work to do."
