Leicester City captain Wes Morgan produced a late winner as they defeated Burnley 2-1 on Saturday.

Morgan scored a 90th-minute winner for 10-man Leicester as they overcame the fourth-minute dismissal of Harry Maguire to claim an unlikely victory over Burnley at a wet and windy Turf Moor.

The England defender was shown a straight red card for bringing down Johann Berg Gudmundsson but Burnley were unable to make their numerical advantage count and the 2-1 defeat was their fourth in a row.

Leicester took the lead in the 33rd minute through a fine free-kick from James Maddison but 19-year-old Dwight McNeil equalised with his second Premier League goal five minutes later.

“It was a really resilient performance," Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers told LCFC TV at the full-time whistle. “I thought we started the game well. In the first five minutes, we were bright and we got on the front foot.

“Then, obviously to lose a man so early in the game can really affect the team, but the boys showed a wonderful resilience and a mentality in the game.

“We got in front, gave away a disappointing goal from our perspective, and then it's a case of just getting them in at half-time and looking at one or two elements tactically, then making sure we defend well and take the opportunities when they come.

“I'm so pleased for them, because I said before the game that style alone won't get you points here at Burnley. It's a tough place to come and always has been, so you really have to earn it. I felt the players did that."
