Brendan Rodgers says his admiration for his Leicester players continues to grow after they defeated Wolves to move top of the Premier League.

The Foxes were fortunate to win a penalty early in the first-half when Dennis Praet's cross hit Max Kilman on the hand.

Jamie Vardy stepped up to convert the spot-kick to make it six straight wins for Leicester.

Rodgers' side will next play Liverpool at Anfield after the international break.

"We couldn't have asked for a better start," said Rodgers, after a ninth win in 12 matches in all competitions this season.

"It's going to be tough to sustain that with the injuries. With the injuries we've got, my admiration for the players grows by the day."
