Brendan Rodgers was delighted with the resolve shown by Leicester City in Sunday's 2-1 win over Everton.
Richarlison gave the visitors hope when he put them ahead in the first-half with a powerful header.
The Toffees were pulled back after 68 minutes when Jamie Vardy arrived unmarked at the back post to convert Kelechi Iheanacho's cross.
The Nigerian then slotted home deep in stoppage-time, with the defenders stopping once they saw the flag raised for offside.
But a review by VAR confirmed Iheanacho was in fact onside and the Foxes walked away with the victory.
Rodgers told Sky Sports: "So proud of the team. Playing against a team 5-4-1 - then when you concede it's even more difficult. We reiterated at half time about keeping the patience.
"In the second half we had an idea of changing the pattern. Just before we scored we started to break through. Then after the first goal we got good momentum.
"With a better pass we could have had more. I'm happy for him (Iheanacho) and the other guys because they don't play as much. I'm so, so pleased."
