Rodgers to Ndidi, others: You can’t relax despite 9-0 win

Brendan Rodgers has told Nigeria international, Wilfred Ndidi and his Leicester teammates not to relax following their extraordinary 9-0 thumping of Southampton in Friday’s premier league fixture.

The Foxes climbed to the second position on the table after the win which has prompted Rodgers to predict a bright future for the one time league champions.

“I think we’ll get better, we will improve. Of course the result and performance is perfect,” said Rodgers.

“But the players trust and believe in how we work. And we have young players who are only going to gain even more confidence.

“We will get better. We certainly won’t just be content with what we’re doing. I believe in what we’re doing and have belief in these players.

“Our idea was to be as competitive as we possibly could and finish as high as we possibly can. I never want to put any limits on that. We know we’re making progress. Supporters can see that.”

Hat-tricks from Ayoze Perez and Jamie Vardy and goals from Ben Chilwell, Youri Tielemans and James Maddison completed the rout against the 10-man hosts.
