Leicester City podcast: Buonanotte's goal against Bournemouth 'a work of art'

Former Leicester coach Mike Stowell says the Foxes were "fantastic" and "tactically very, very good" in Saturday's 1-0 win over

The Foxes recorded their first victory back in the Premier League and their first league win under Steve Cooper with a resolute defensive display after Facundo Buonanotte's fine early strike.

"So important to get a result going into the international break with other teams around us losing," Stowell told the When You're Smiling podcast. "Fantastic. Dug deep. I said at the beginning of the programme I'd take three points over a performance.

"But don't take anything away from this performance. It was tactically very, very good. Maybe at times it wasn't the best to watch or the best to look at, but it was a hard-earned three points and they deserved it.

"It's so pleasing for the lads. This was an in-form side coming here and it was a good performance - a win playing good football. They've had to defend with their lives for so long and they ride their luck a little bit, but what a great win.

"I'd have taken a 1-0 ugly win but it wasn't that ugly. The goal was a work of art. Some of the rest of it was digging deep and good old fashioned football; lots of blocks, lots of headers, lots of clearances. They were disciplined when not having the ball.

"We won and that's the most important thing. Southampton have lost, Crystal Palace lost, Ipswich lost, and Leicester have won."
