Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri says he was very pleased with his side's performance against West Brom

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.
