Stunned by their defeat at home to West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers was left with little time to reflect on the result as his side faced another relegation battle in their next match against Burnley.

In the first half, the Clarets took control and created several chances before striker Chris Wood finally put them ahead from close range in the 29th minute. The visitors were then unable to find a way back into the game, and they eventually succumbed to a narrow loss, leaving them just two points above the bottom three.

Despite the setback, Rodgers refused to give up hope for his team's survival, stating that "we've still got some good footballers here who can turn things around."

The manager also praised the resilience of his players, saying that they showed great character despite the defeat. He added that he would be focusing on the positive aspects of the game and working towards improving the team's performance going forward.

Meanwhile, Burnley manager Sean Dyche was pleased with his team's display, but admitted that it was a tough game to win. He said that his team had worked hard all season and deserved to take something from the game, despite the loss.

With just six games remaining in the season, the race for survival is heating up, and both teams will need to focus on securing crucial wins if they want to avoid relegation. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the league reacts to the latest results, and whether or not any more surprises await us in the final few weeks of the season.
