Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is delighted with James Maddison's return to form.

Maddison excelled in wins against Manchester United and Spartak Moscow on his return to the team and has continued to impress recently with three goals and three assists in his last three matches in all competitions.

“It's about consistency and working very hard and when he is at that level he is an outstanding player," said the Leicester boss, whose side travel to Aston Villa on Sunday.

“He was a catalyst for us in the Southampton game. His goal and his courage to go and take the ball and his creating space. James is clever, he's bright and he finds space well.

“But not only that, towards the end of the game he was getting back and making blocks and working very hard for the team.

“It is just getting that run of consistency now and backing up all that good play over many games, that is the challenge for James.

“It is natural that sometimes form dips but he has that quality and that mentality to really push on again and we have seen over the last four or five games him really looking to get back and make a mark and he is really focused on doing that, and we have seen that in his play."
