Leicester City left-back Christian Fuchs has revealed that is "very happy" to have finally scored his debut goal for the club.

The 30-year-old, who joined the side in 2015, put the result beyond doubt with a fierce 25-yard volley in the closing stages of the Foxes' 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium.

The champions made a shaky start to their title defence this season but have now edged closer to the top half of the table with victory over Alan Pardew's charges.

"It took me a while to get my first goal for Leicester but I'm very happy it found the back of the net," Fuchs told reporters afterwards. "We are a little bit disappointed we didn't get the clean sheet but Crystal Palace applied lots of pressure. There were a couple of good goals so overall we are very happy.

"Our past few home performances have been positive and I think we are in a good way - we are really enjoying the winning streak in the Champions League too.

"We aren't thinking about last season - just focussing on the games ahead and taking each one as it comes."

Leicester next face a tough trip to high-flying Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday.
