Leicester City captain Wes Morgan has praised his side for returning to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Chelsea tonight but urged them not to get too carried away.

Jamie Vardy notched a 15th goal of the season and Riyad Mahrez an 11th as the Foxes saw off Jose Mourinho's troubled side at the King Power to take them two points clear of second-placed Arsenal.

"We knew it was going to be a tough game from the beginning," Morgan told Sky Sports News afterwards. "We wanted to get back on the top of the league and perform well. I think we deserved the result.

"The boys are full of confidence. We have to be. We're at the top of the league and we want to see how far we can get. [But] it's one step at a a time. We don't want to get too carried away, we just want to keep winning like we are and performing like we are and see what happens."

Next up for the league leaders is a trip to Everton on Saturday.
