Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has insisted that he is "very pleased" with his side's performance despite seeing them drop two points at the hands of West Bromwich Albion this evening.
The Baggies held the Foxes to a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium, a result that gives Tottenham Hotspur the chance to leapfrog Leicester at the top of the Premier League table when they take on West Ham United tomorrow evening.
Leicester created a number of chances and hit the woodwork twice against West Brom, and Ranieri conceded that it was simply not their day in front of goal.
"I am very pleased with our performance. They played so well, there was no panic after the first goal. We played much better than against Norwich. I am satisfied with the performance. Just sometimes you can do everything but the ball doesn't want to go in," he told BBC Sport.
"I want to create a lot of chances and sooner or later we score. Tonight wasn't the right moment but we are alive and we fight to the end. Everybody is ready to fight, to play well, to create chances. Only the victory was missing.
"Nothing negative. We tried to do everything and well done to my players. I love this, we never never give up. We always try the best in every situation. Every team plays football and we have to find the solution and try to win. It is important not to lose the match too as they could have counter-attacked."
Leicester are back in action away to Watford on Saturday.
