Claudio Ranieri hails 'personality' following comeback win over Aston Villa

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri applauds his players for showing their personality after they came back to beat Aston Villa 3-2 in the Premier League.

Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri has praised his side for showing their "personality" after fighting back to claim victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League.

The Foxes found themselves two goals behind Tim Sherwood's side with just under 20 minutes remaining, but Ritchie De Laet's goal in the 72nd minute sparked a memorable fightback as the hosts claimed a 3-2 win.

"It was important for us to restart after the international break with a victory. In the second half we showed a very good performance," said Ranieri, according to Four Four Two.

"[At half time] I said that they are keeping the ball well and if we continue in this way it will be difficult for us. It is an open match and we can score, but it's important to show our character.

"For me, it was important that the players show their personality. You can give everything and lose, but the mistake is when you don't do it as a team, and that's what we did today. It was very good."

Leicester are currently riding high in second spot in the Premier League after five games played.
