Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers hailed the way his side dealt with Goodison Park’s “hostile” atmosphere in their 2-0 win over Everton that saw them climb out of the Premier League’s relegation zone and leapfrog their hosts in the table on goal difference. After six draws and two defeats on his previous Premier League visits, the former Liverpool boss finally picked up his first ever three points on the other side of Stanley Park and was delighted with the Foxes’ display.
Rodgers said: “It was a fantastic performance. I think when you come to Goodison, you know you’re going to be in for a game.
“The crowd really get behind the team and support the team so I was really pleased with how we defended and our concentration as we didn’t give away too many opportunities. Then we had confidence and composure on the ball in an environment, which I said, can be tough, we played with a really calmness and quality.
