Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has said that he is proud of how the club played during their defeat against Chelsea on Saturday.

The Foxes were beaten 2-0 by the Blues at Stamford Bridge in their second Premier League match of the season.

"We played really well and bossed the game and at half-time we were thinking we were the best team," Sky Sports News quotes Schmeichel as saying.

"At this level, if you don't take your chances you get punished and those are the margins you're up against. But we have every reason to be proud of the way we played. I don't think it feels massive. We showed in the first half that's the way we can play.

"We've worked really hard to be here. We enjoy playing teams like Chelsea but we go into every game with a positive mentality. We can play really well and we do have a very good chance of getting some very good results."

Leicester are next in action when they host Shrewsbury Town in the second round of the League Cup on Tuesday.
