Matic who spoke to the media after the game credited the young players as he claims the club can rely on them.

“The young players who played tonight did an amazing job and showed that the club can count on them in the future,” Matic told media.

“They showed that they will be very important for our club in the future. They played with personality, they showed the character, so I was very happy to see them on the pitch.

“The way they played was great, against a very good side in Leicester, it’s not easy to play.

The former Chelsea player admitted it was not easy to prepare for the game as changes were mad by the manager due to the tight fixtures.

“It was not easy to prepare for this game,” Matic said.

“I have to say that I’m very happy with the way we played, especially in the first half. Of course, in the second half, we should have created more opportunities to score that second goal to kill the game. We are not happy when we lose a game.

“As you saw today, the manager had to make lots of changes to the team. Playing every second day is not easy, we don’t have enough time to prepare our game in the best way.

“We’ll try to recover as soon as possible and be ready for the Liverpool game.

“It’s not easy and it’s not usual – normally it’s every three days – but we have to be ready, be fresh because, as you know, [Liverpool is] the most important game for our supporters.”
