Brendan Rodgers slams Leicester City fans who left Everton game early | OneFootball

Leicester City saved the best for last once again on Sunday, with Kelechi Iheanacho providing a 94th-minute winner to give his side a 2-1 win and keep the Foxes within eight points of leaders Liverpool.

Iheanacho’s goal was Leicester’s sixth goal scored in the 85th minute or later this season and manager Brendan Rodgers sent a blunt message to those in the crowd who made the unfortunate choice to beat the traffic.

“My message is: ‘Supporters, don’t leave early,’” Rodgers said. “This is a team that whether we’re at 9-0 or 1-1, we want you here because we will go right to the end.

“This is the stamina and the mentality in the team. It didn’t annoy me [that fans left early] but I want them to stay.

“I know there can be a bit of a traffic queue getting out but this team is going to go right to the very end.

“At 1-1 they should never doubt that this team is finished. I’m not sure if anyone left at 9-0 at Southampton, but do not leave at 1-1.

“We will push to the very end.”

Leicester will face Rodgers’ first club, Watford, on Wednesday, with a chance to go back into second place after City defeated Burnley 4-1 on Tuesday night.
