Claudio Ranieri: 'Leicester must concentrate'

Claudio Ranieri says that his Leicester side must concentrate and stop making mistakes after they came from 2-0 down to draw with Stoke City.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri had voiced his frustration after his side had to come from 2-0 down to secure a 2-2 draw at winless Stoke City.

The Foxes extended their unbeaten start to the Premier League season to six matches as second-half goals from Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy earned a point at the Britannia Stadium in an end-to-end game.

The Italian boss saw his team come from 2-0 down with 19 minutes remaining to beat Aston Villa last weekend, and admitted that he is frustated by his side doing things the hard way.

"It is the fourth time that we have had to come from behind," he told reporters. "We must concentrate.

"It is not so good that we have to come back. We started well for the first 12 minutes but they found a very good goal and the second was our mistake. After that we believed that anything could be possible. But it won't be possible every time.

"We started well, but there were mistakes and they scored. We never gave up and had the right spirit that I like. It is good that we are still unbeaten, everyone is working hard. You can afford mistakes, but not to repeat them."

The point means that the Foxes will remain second in the Premier League table going into Sunday's games.
