Kasper Schmeichel calls for focus from Leicester City teammates

Kasper Schmeichel says that Leicester City cannot afford to become complacent as they look to secure their Premier League status.

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has told his teammates that they need to keep their emotions in check as they bid for Premier League survival.

The Foxes gave their chances of staying up a boost on Saturday as they won 3-2 at West Bromwich Albion, which was their second win in succession.

Schmeichel says that the players were "buzzing" after coming from behind twice to win at The Hawthorns, but the Denmark international has insisted that they cannot rest on their laurels.

"Maybe it's different to the outside world, but we have no doubt in our dressing room that we have the characters and players to get us out of this situation," Schmeichel told the Leicester Mercury.

"We haven't done it all season on the pitch, but we have done in the last two games. We are not getting carried away with ourselves, we need to remain focused and keep going.

"It is all about being in control of your emotions. You have got to play with emotion, but controlled emotion. We stressed that before the game. We cannot get carried away. We are buzzing about the game but it is now back to hard work."

Leicester are three points from safety with seven games left of the season.
