    Gary Rowett backed Leicester to bounce back from their turbulent season

    Leicester manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester: "It was really important in the last two games to ensure we stayed professional and did the job for the fans, if nothing else. They came in great numbers again, were outstanding for us, stayed behind the team and at least showed their appreciation.

    "The club will rise again and we'll come back stronger with that togetherness.

    "In the first half we were really good on the ball, got in some excellent areas, created some good chances. A couple of times they transitioned on us and we got away with it with good defending - Jannik [Vestergaard] was excellent.

    "The second half was different. They injected a little bit more of a higher press and higher energy into the game but we managed it well, and it was nice to score at the end.

    "The number of games where we have played well and not got anything out of the game has been frustrating, but this was one where in the second half we didn't play as well but get a winner through Stephy."
