Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers lauds his side's 'heroic performance' after surprise victory over Liverpool following 'huge test' in having played Manchester City just two days earlier

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has paid tribute to his side's test of character after grabbing a stunning win over Liverpool following a tricky festive period.

The Foxes saw off Jurgen Klopp's title chasers 1-0 on Tuesday evening after substitute Ademola Lookman struck just before the hour mark at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester went into the game having faced Liverpool just six days before in a Carabao Cup quarter-final defeat on penalty kicks, as well as a gruelling trip to table toppers and current league champions Manchester City on Boxing Day where they were hammered 6-3.
