Craig Shakespeare happy with "professional" Leicester City performance

Craig Shakespeare is happy with Leicester City's "professional performance" in their 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Craig Shakespeare has praised Leicester City's "professional performance" in their 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton & Hove Albion.

Shinji Okazaki opened the scoring within the first two minutes at the King Power Stadium before Harry Maguire added a second in the 54th minute.

Shakespeare told reporters after Saturday's game: "When you get a start like that it's very pleasing. It was hard to break them down today but it was a professional performance to the end.

"Of course we created more chances in the first half but it was important to get the first three points of the season and you have to have a good home record.

"It didn't feel as comfortable as the stats suggest. We learned cruelly about game management last week [in the 4-3 defeat to Arsenal], but to get the first win under the belt was the main thing."

After an EFL Cup trip to Sheffield United in midweek, Leicester will travel to Manchester United for next Saturday's late kickoff.
