Everton winger Andros Townsend has leapt to the defence of the under-fire Brendan Rodgers - labelling the current speculation around the immediate future of the Leicester City boss as 'nonsense'.
Currently propping up the Premier League table at the first pit stop of the season, despite a promising first half the Foxes were humiliated 6-2 at Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon as Son Heung-min fired an incredible 13-minute second-half hat-trick to increase further pressure on former Liverpool manager Rodgers.
But despite six consecutive Premier League defeats, Townsend has offered his support of the Northern Irishman, insisting the situation Leicester find themselves in is comparable to the predicament Everton found themselves in at the start of last season under former manager Rafa Benitez.
