Leicester City defender Wout Faes dubbed defeat to Bournemouth "painful".
Philip Billing scored the winning goal in the first half, latching on to James Maddison's shocking attempt at a backpass to coolly slot past Daniel Iversen.
Faes later said: "The game isn't going to decide if we stay up or go down. It is a painful defeat. We've got no other option that sticking together and showing fight.
"The first half was very bad but we came back in the second half, but we weren't able to put them under enough danger.
"The crowd stuck behind us and supported us. We need them. We're going to do our best to stay up.
"The club needs to decide about a manager. We don't know anything. I guess they are working on it.
"It is not going to be easy to stay up, but we need to stick together."
