Claudio Ranieri hails "fantastic" Leicester City

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has described his side's 2-1 victory over West Ham United in the League Cup as a "fantastic performance".

The Foxes boss said that he was delighted with his team's display and insisted that they were the better side throughout.

"We deserved it. We made a fantastic performance, and created 10 great chances to score. Their keeper was man of the match," he told reporters.

"We had the names of the first five penalty takers written down. But we deserved to score a winner. It was a great goal.

"We changed 10 players, but they played at the same level. They're a great group and they work very hard. I'm very happy."

Andy King scored the winner for Leicester in extra time after Mauro Zarate cancelled out Joe Dodoo's opener in normal time.
