Leicester City manager Gary Rowett spoke to BBC Radio Leicester following Tuesday night's 2-0 win against Bristol City.

"It's nice to feel the stadium buzzing and I'm pleased with the players' performance. I could feel the players' energy coming back into the dressing room afterwards," he said.

"They worked incredibly hard and I think we've been unfortunate not to have had the first win yet.

"We got the set-piece for the first goal, with Ben [Nelson] getting on the end it. And he did that for me last year in a crucial game towards the end of the season [at Oxford]. I think he should do that more.

"The second goal comes from 18 passes and we move the ball well, are nice and composed and we get a nice cross. You do wonder with his wrong foot if he [Fatawu] will get the power and accuracy, but he does exactly that. He is a magical player and he showed that tonight with that finish.

"To go 2-0 up put us in a nice comfortable position and I was keen to see how we would handle that.

"To get the clean sheet is really nice. That gives us confidence and I can't actually believe it's been that long [30 league games without clean sheet] since we had one. We have to value clean sheets and have to value the defensive discipline. And we have done in the games since we came in."
