Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers refuses to publicly set his sights higher than securing European football - but stylish Foxes can and should finish higher than the Europa League spots

After watching his side win thanks to an impressive alliance of grace and grit, Brendan Rodgers refused to reveal the extent of Leicester's ambition for 2021 beyond securing European football.

His side would have failed, however, if all they have to show from this season is another spin in the Europa League. For while the manager maintains a modesty when it comes to evaluating their Premier League title chances, his players cannot help but display a flashiness on the pitch.

It was two such moments of showmanship that won an otherwise scrappy contest, moving Leicester into third and within a point of leaders Liverpool.
