John Hartson hails Leicester City after victory against Swansea City

Former Wales striker John Hartson has admitted that Leicester City deserved their 2-0 victory over Swansea City this afternoon.

Leonardo Ulloa and Andy King found the net for the Foxes to move them 18th in the Premier League, and Hartson believes that they were better in every department.

He told BBC Sport: "Swansea have had a great season with 47 points but this afternoon was all about Leicester. They have been the better side from start to finish, they carried more of a threat in the final third. They were quicker and faster to the ball, took the lead and capitalised on it. They deserved the three points. Swansea were not that bad, they played in spells without carrying a threat.

"The atmosphere has been amazing, there is a feel good factor here. They have won three games in a row, all the pundits and experts had written them off but you would have to be a brave man to say Leicester will go down now.

"What a game it will be next week when Leicester go to Burnley."

Leicester have now won their last three league games to climb off the bottom of the table.
