Rodgers hails Leicester character for West Ham draw

Leicester City earned a decent point as they drew 2-2 at West Ham on Saturday.

Harvey Barnes grabbed his first Foxes goal in stoppage time to salvage a point for Brendan Rodgers' side.

Jamie Vardy had earlier cancelled out Michail Antonio's first-half header before Lucas Perez fired West Ham back in front nine minutes from the end.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers told LCFC TV: “It's a very good point.

“I think it shows that mentality in the squad, which is very important. There's lots of areas in the game that we can be better in.

“In the first half, we were too passive, but in the second half, we played with a lot more energy and a lot more tempo to our game and we looked a real attacking threat.

“So I was very pleased with the second half and there's lots to get better in with the first half."
