Claude Puel claims defeat at Watford was a 'harsh' outcome for his Leicester side as their winless run continues

Claude Puel believes Leicester were hard done by after their winless run stretched to four Premier League matches with a 2-1 defeat at Watford.

Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring for the Foxes when he headed home from Marc Albrighton's cross in the first half.

However, Watford reacted in fine fashion when they drew level just before the break.

Former Leicester man Molla Wague prodded home after the visitors failed to clear their lines, before Watford went in front after the interval.
