Benteke reflects on Leicester defeat

Reflecting on today’s 3-0 defeat to Leicester City, Christian Benteke said: “I think we started okay. And then they got a few chances but they didn’t look dangerous really; I think it was a level game really until they scored the first goal.”

Roy Hodgson’s side can be forgiven for thinking ‘what might’ve been’ had Mamadou Sakho not unfortunately lost his footing, gifting the Foxes the chance to double their lead.

Upon that matter, Benteke added: “The second-half, the first 15, we looked like we were going to come back into the game and then we made a mistake, and after 2-0 down it is harder.
