Frustration for Rowett at 'soft set-piece goal'

Leicester City boss Gary Rowett expressed his frustration at the way his side conceded in their defeat at Portsmouth.

They went behind in the second half and ended up losing the game from a corner, scored by defender Ibane Bowat.

That result leaves the Foxes in real danger of being relegated from the Championship and coupled with West Brom's victory at Preston they are now eight points from safety, with only three games remaining.

"I'm disappointed with the way we conceded the goal to lose the game," Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester

"If you played my last four interviews it would sound very similar to this one, which is deeply frustrating.

"We've made it pretty clear to the players the importance of where we are in the season and what it means to a lot of people at this football club.

"We got into some really good positions but without finding that final third quality, we have to show that and we can't keep not showing it in those moments.

"We tweaked a few things after the break and the frustration is that we've conceded a soft set-piece goal. We chased the game reasonably well and we created some good moments but didn't take them.

"That's been the story of this last 10-11 games for us."

The Foxes host Hull City on Tuesday night at the King Power.
