Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers says they players entered the Community Shield full of confidence.

Leicester defeated Manchester City via a late Kelechi Iheanacho penalty.

Rodgers said, "There was a great feeling coming here today. Every Leicester player, fan, staff member coming here, it was a really special feeling.

"We wanted to take that into the game and keep that feeling going, and thankfully we've done that.

"You have to be educated in your pressure because Man City are so good. We have this underdog mentality so when we don't have the ball we have to fight and run to get it back.

"But when we do get the ball we have to show our star quality and I thought the players did that today."

He added: "I think if we could have given the supporters more tickets they would have filled the whole stadium, so it would've been nice to have more in.

"But I felt it in the FA Cup final and I felt it today, it felt more like 50-60 thousand supporters."
