Claude Puel says Leicester City should have managed game better at Wolves

Saturday 19 January 2019 17:16, UK
Claude Puel accused his Leicester players of being naïve as their eagerness to win three points at Wolves resulted in them leaving with none.
Wes Morgan's equaliser looked to have secured a credible point of the road when his 87th-minute header made it 3-3 and hauled Leicester level for the second time at Molineux.

But Leicester's leaky defensive allowed Diogo Jota to complete his hat-trick in stoppage-time as a rollercoaster match left Puel with his head in his hands.
"It was an unbelievable game," the Foxes boss told Sky Sports.

"I think we have a lot of different feelings in this game, we started with poor intentions and conceded two early goals.
"It was crazy, we come back into the game with good quality and good chances. We lacked quality in our play but we came back with fantastic spirit in the second half.
"We came back with desire, aggression and put Wolves under pressure. We pressed well, continued our intensity.
"But after the good feeling of coming back we needed to waste some time. We didn't manage the game at the end, we were naive in our goals and our management at the end.
"The game is finished [at 3-3] - we needed to keep our position without trying to score another goal because there was a lot of tiredness.
"It was a fantastic feeling [to come back] and of course it is a big disappointment at the end."
