Ranieri calm amid Leicester struggles

Despite losing at Watford to remain in a perilous position in the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri claims Leicester City are still calm.

Claudio Ranieri insists Leicester City will not panic after a 2-1 defeat at Watford left the struggling Premier League champions just two points clear of the relegation zone.

The Foxes were two goals behind within 12 minutes at Vicarage Road on Saturday after conceding to Etienne Capoue and Roberto Pereyra, before they hit back through Riyad Mahrez's penalty.

Leicester, though, could not force an equaliser, with Ranieri offering no excuses after the game and choosing instead to praise his side's spirit.
