Slav can’t recall ever being so frustrated

Slaven Bilic’s frustration at yesterday’s result is beyond anything he can ever remember.

He watched his team battle back from a losing position to come within five seconds of victory before being deprived of two valuable points by a penalty decision which the world fails to understand.

And speaking to the club’s official website he said: “To get a point at Leicester, you’ve got to be brave, you’ve got to have quality. It’s great for us to bounce back after the defeat to Manchester United.“To play like we did and not stop at 1-1 was brilliant. Of course we are pleased. On the other hand I don’t remember when I felt so frustrated as I think we fully deserved three points.”

“On the one hand I am proud of my team as it is a very hard game. In the last six games when Leicester score, it is normally game over.

“But before the sending-off we were putting them under pressure. We didn’t lose our composure, we were playing our game. Apart from the goal, we coped pretty well with their counter attacks.

“Especially after the sending-off we totally dominated the game. We came back with a controversial penalty but then we didn’t stop. We showed character and quality and pushed the full-backs even more up. Aaron Cresswell scored his goal to put us 2-1 up from left winger position.

“At that moment I thought we had done more than enough to win the game but then the moment came with that controversial penalty.

“It was a great game of football with everything; with intensity, with penalties and red cards.”
