Claudio Ranieri hails Leicester City's defensive strength after their win over West Ham United.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has hailed his side's defending after they beat West Ham United 2-1 at Upton Park.

The Foxes took a two-goal lead through Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez, and held on to win despite the Hammers scoring through Dimitri Payet.

Ranieri told BBC Sport: "We are working very hard with the defensive line. I have very good players in front, very fast but it is important we all stay together.

"I didn't want to defend too deep but when you see your players go deep it is better to help them with their mentality."

Leicester are currently top of the table, and face Tottenham Hotspur next.
