Brendan Rodgers: Leicester boss admits growing pressure but says he retains club's backing

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers says recent results have left him "open to criticism" but he still has the backing of the club's board.

He was "embarrassed" by the 4-1 defeat.

Rodgers said: "I've got a great relationship here with the people at the club, a very close working relationship with everyone, but I understand you have to get results."

When asked if he had the board's support, Northern Irishman Rodgers added: "I've never felt I haven't, but I also understand football.

"For me, you'll always be under pressure when you're not getting results, you can't deny that.
