The Foxes boss described the encounter as a "decent game" and complemented the the opposition for their game plan.

"I think it was always going to be tight," PA Sport quotes him as saying. "Leeds came with a decent game plan and tried to limit the number of chances we had. We had the best clear-cut chances but we were unable to take one.

"I thought it was an interesting game with two decent sides who cancelled each other out. It was a decent game and I felt comfortable throughout.
