Kasper Schmeichel hails "massive result"

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has described his side's 1-0 victory at Leeds United as a "massive result".

The Foxes strengthened their position at the top of the Championship table as David Nugent's 88th-minute strike gave Nigel Pearson's men their fifth consecutive league win.

"It's a massive result to keep us going and we have shown today we can be resilient," said Schmeichel. "Leeds played well and had a good couple of chances but it keeps us going."

Schmeichel made two crucial saves at Elland Road as the Danish stopper kept his eighth club clean sheet of the season.

However, he was keen to play down his role in the win, adding: "It is my job at the end of the day."
