Wednesday 2 March 2016 10:53, UK
Claudio Ranieri said he was very pleased with Leicester's performance in their draw with West Brom and says they will "continue to fight" for the title.
The 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium sees Leicester move three points clear at the top of the Premier League table although Tottenham would overtake them with a win at West Ham on Wednesday.
However, despite seeing his side drop two points, Ranieri insists he was happier than he was after the victory over Norwich on Saturday.
"I'm very, very pleased that we played so well," said Ranieri. "Also after their first goal there was no panic, we continued to build. We knew we must be calm, patient and move the ball quickly.
"We made a lot of chances but the ball doesn't want to go inside [the goal]! That is football but I am more happy now than after the game against Norwich. Against Norwich we won but tonight we played much better."

As for the title race, the former Chelsea boss argued that nothing has changed for his side and that they must continue to believe.
"Tonight the ball doesn't want to go inside but we continue to fight," Ranieri added. "We believe in ourselves and we continue to fight.
"It's the same, I don't see the title. Tonight we made a very good performance and I'm happy. We must believe until the end, until the end every match is important to us to understand what we can do in our life."
