Rodgers glad to mark 'special' Vichai tributes with attacking victory

The Foxes turned in an impressive performance on another emotional afternoon at the King Power Stadium.

Brendan Rodgers was delighted his players produced an attacking and winning performance against Bournemouth as Leicester City fans paid tribute to former owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Srivaddhanaprabha, who died when his helicopter crashed after a Leicester match last October, would have turned 61 next week, and the club marked the occasion by offering supporters free beer and cake, a regular tradition when he was alive.

After 61 minutes, fans sung an emotional tribute, holding applause and waving banners to celebrate the man who oversaw the club's famous Premier League title win in 2016.
