Leicester boss Rodgers delighted with Daka and Dewsbury-Hall in Aston Villa defeat

Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was pleased with Patson Daka and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall after defeat at Aston Villa.

Rodgers was enthused by each's performance. Daka played a crucial role in the visitors' opener, while Dewsbury-Hall was a tireless worker midfield for large spells.

"They did very well," Rodgers said. "I thought Patson led the line really well. It's great pressure leading into the first goal. I thought he was excellent. His link-up play was good, pressing was good.

"Kiernan was excellent. He tired a little bit in the second half. We also stuck on a striker to try and help, but I thought he did very, very well.

"He looked a threat, neat and tidy with the ball. In the second half, he gave it away a couple of times, but I thought he did well."
