Leicester City players' fight and attitude were not the reasons they lost to Liverpool on Monday night.

That is the view of manager Dean Smith, who fielded questions post-game about his team's hunger and desire to win matches.

The Foxes are in a relegation dogfight and still lie in the drop zone after a humbling 3-0 loss at home in the league.

Post-game, Smith stated: “We're all supporters in here. We all support football clubs and you want to see your football club winning.

“We got beat tonight by a team who physically overran us when they got the two-goal lead. They're a physically strong team, supreme athletes and really good players.

"I wouldn't question our fight today. I wouldn't question our attitude. If you're losing 3-0 at home and you're fighting a relegation battle, I understand why fans will react in certain ways."
