Leicester boss Sven-Goran Eriksson saluted his improving side after they beat previously in-form Millwall 4-2 at the Walkers Stadium. The Swede spoke after the Foxes had brushed aside the Lions to remain unbeaten at home in the npower Championship since he took over in October. Eriksson said: "This was a good win. Millwall are difficult to play against. They are very direct and always fighting for the ball. "But we played good football and deserved to win, absolutely. We have made a good start to 2011. I still believe we can at least reach the play-offs. I want to take this club up to the Premier League and stay there." The Swede had special praise for Ayegbeni Yakubu, who scored on his home league debut after arriving on loan from Everton. Eriksson said: "Yakubu is real class and takes a shot so quickly and goalkeepers are always going to have real difficulties with that. He will do very good for us."
