Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has insisted that his team were full value for their 2-2 draw with Manchester United at the King Power Stadium while claiming that the visitors were lucky to score first.
“It was two teams coming into the game in good form and I thought it was a really good, attacking game of football,” Rodgers told LCFC TV after his side’s first Premier League draw of the season.
“If you can’t win the game, you don’t want to do what we’ve done this season and lose games. If we lost that 2-1, we’d have still been saying how well we’ve played.
“It’s important for the development of us as a team and as a squad that we can come from behind against a really, really good side, a top side, and get the result.”
Rodgers was however not too pleased that his team conceded two goals, saying he and his assistants will analyse the goals to see where improvements can be made.
Marcus Rashford and Bruno Fernandes scored in each half for United while Harvey Barnes and an Axel Tuanzebe own goal equalised twice for the Foxes.
“Against most teams, we try to have an educated pressure in the game,” he added. “There’s moments where you’ve got to be really aggressive and press.
“There are also moments when you get your lines compact and tight. I thought we showed a good balance in that today.
“They had a bit of luck in the first goal, where the deflection takes it to Marcus Rashford, and he finishes it really well.
“The second one, we’ll analyse. There’s a coaching element in that where we could have been better, but today, the story is that we played really, really well.
“The very least we deserved was a point, and we were really competitive at the top end.”
Leicester City’s next face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday while Manchester United host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday.
