Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri: 'My players believe'

Claudio Ranieri says that his Leicester City players "believe until the end" after the Premier League-leading Foxes left it late to beat Norwich City.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has said that "[his] players believe until the end" after watching his side fight past a dogged Norwich City to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.

The Foxes were far from their best today at the King Power Stadium and left it late to beat 17th-placed Norwich, with Leonardo Ulloa scoring in the 89th minute to earn the points.

"The conclusion I have drawn from this is that my players believe until the end," Ranieri told BBC Sport. "That, for me, is very important. If the other teams start to win, they can win all the matches. But for us, the next match is always the final match. That is our mentality.

"I was so worried about this match, because after two weeks, your players can lose their tempo, but now I am very relaxed, and now I start to think about the West Brom match. It is a derby and a very, very, very tough match."

Leicester are five clear of North London duo Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, who both play tomorrow against Swansea City and Manchester United respectively.
