Leicester caretaker Shakespeare: Liverpool win my remit

Published on: 28 February 2017

Craig Shakespeare was over the moon after helping Leicester City defeat Liverpool last night.

The Foxes beat the Reds 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in the first game of the post-Claudio Ranieri era.

Shakespeare took the role on an interim basis ahead of the Monday night fixture and was delighted to come away with a resounding three points which could see him stay in the role for the remainder of the campaign.

"To get the three points against a very good Liverpool team, everyone is delighted," he told lcfc.com after guiding Leicester out of the bottom three.

"As a group we had to make sure that we showed unity and togetherness. From the word go you could see that we started the game really, really well.

"I think the fans were excellent and got behind the team. You could see that the first goal was always going to be important. I think to get the first goal, it gave everyone a lift.

"The fans got behind the team from the word go. The players recognised that. It's been a strange few days. To get the result tonight was my remit.

"I tried to do that in the best way possible and to get the three points. I'm delighted for everybody at the Football Club.

"The performance tonight, I did see it against Manchester City. We are capable of it, but we've not done it often enough."
