Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says they're going for the title this season.

Jamie Vardy's penalty sealed a 1-0 win over Wolves as the Foxes went top of the table on Sunday.

They go to Liverpool next and while Rodgers urged caution he insisted his squad will keep pushing.

He said: “It's been an incredible start, I'm so happy for the players.

“We couldn't have asked for a better start. I have always said failure is learning and if anyone says us not getting into the Champions League last season was failing then, OK. For us it was about learning and developing.

“It's going to be tough to sustain that with the injuries we've had but we have played 12 games and won nine in all competitions. It has been an incredible focus. Our idea is to sustain that but I can't promise.

“We had to show a different side to the team. The first half we were very good without the football and in the second half we had to show real resilience.

“We have seen that this season, the players are developing and to show that mentality and desire is so pleasing."
