Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was happy to highlight Sidnei Tavares' performance for victory over Brighton.

The Foxes came from behind to win 2-1 on Saturday night.

Rodgers said, "We're obviously thin on the ground with attacking players. Sidnei Tavares was excellent. Technically he's very good. I felt we needed that player who can take the ball and pass it forward.

"It was a nice 70 minutes for him. He's a talent. He needs to get more physical in the game. He loves the ball, that's the type of player I like. He nearly scored a great goal. There's a great opportunity here for him if he continues to work and keeps his head down and doesn't get carried away."
