Sousa: We deserved to win

Leicester manager Paulo Sousa hailed his side for the way in which they dominated local rivals Coventry at the Ricoh Arena but admitted they need to be more ruthless in front of goal after only claiming a 1-1 draw. The Foxes enjoyed the majority of possession and territorial advantage in the derby encounter courtesy of their passing football and neat approach play. But they had to come from behind to snatch a point after Andy King's 76th-minute equaliser cancelled out Clive Platt's first goal for Coventry just before the break. Sousa said: "I only remember two shots on our goal in the first half and only one in the second half. "But we kept creating. We need to be more clinical in that moment but we continue to create. "We need to have pride in ourselves. They put everything into winning this game - good spirit, the right attitude, the hunger and desire to win the game, we saw all of that."
