Brendan Rodgers believes his side will reach the Europa League Knock-out stage after frustrating 1-1 draw against Spartak Moscow.

Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers believes his side will reach the Europa League Knock-out stage after frustrating 1-1 draw against Spartak Moscow.

The Foxes hosted Spartak Moscow in the competition and fell behind in the first half of the game.

Leicester draw level in the second half of the game and have an opportunity to take the lead as forward Jamie Vardy lost a spot kick.

Rodgers said: “It’s all to play for. If we, most importantly, win our next one that will put us in a good place going into the last game.

“It was always going to be the case, I’ve said about winning the two homes games, we haven’t done that, but it’s very clear – we win the two games and win the group.

“Napoli will be a tough game away from home but we played well here to be 2-0 up (before drawing 2-2) and we know if we play to our highest level we can win.

“I thought performance-wise we played reasonably well. We created chances, more than enough to win the game, and one moment where we lacked concentration and ability to run back cost us.

“Our reaction was good and we had other chances to win the game. To not win it is a little bit frustrating. Jamie has saved the team and the club so many times, it (the penalty miss) was unfortunate.”
