Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was proud of his players' performance as the team drew 2-2 against Brighton.

Currently, Leicester City is still ranked 19th in the Premier League standings, 14 points away from the safety zone. However, the atmosphere on the field of Leicester City is more positive than before, and the team showed the courage to counterattack twice in the game.

Ruud van Nistelrooy said: "I am happy with the performance of the players. They put a lot of energy and spirit into the game and broke the team's consecutive games without scoring. The players really did it and their performance was really outstanding."

"I thought Brighton played well in the first half and we had better chances in the second half to get the win. We looked strong and very lively which made the fans very proud. I'm happy for the players and that's what I want."

“We scored two great goals and Stephen Mavutiti was a threat in transition with his pace and dribbling ability, as was Casey McAteer, and the goal he scored was crucial.”

“Caleb Okolie’s header was brilliant and he timed it really well and Bilal Hanus’ pass was excellent, going straight into the bottom corner.”

"I hope the players can continue to perform at the level they have been at. I don't want to end the season with a loss and a negative atmosphere. The players turned things around and it is the responsibility of all of us to maintain this momentum, including all those who play for the club, fight for the team and those who have come through the academy. We are all thinking about giving them opportunities and that is how we try to shape the future of the team."
