“Massive win, Huge 3 points” -Dean Smith and Gary Lineker reacts to incredible Leicester comeback win against Wolves
Dean Smith insists Leicester have achieved nothing and must keep pushing after they climbed out of the drop zone.
Timothy Castagne’s first goal since August earned a vital 2-1 comeback win over Wolves.
Kelechi Iheanacho’s penalty cancelled out Matheus Cunha’s opener as Leicester won for the first time in 10 Premier League games.
It was Smith’s first win in charge after replacing Brendan Rodgers this month, with the Foxes now above the relegation zone on goal difference.
They travel to Leeds a point and a place above them on Tuesday before hosting Everton – who dropped into the bottom three – next Monday.
“It means nothing, we need to keep climbing out of there and separate ourselves as much as we can,” said Foxes boss Smith, with Leicester the only team in the bottom five to win this weekend.
“We will enjoy this moment and how it feels to win a game after a while and get ready for Tuesday and Leeds.
“It’s a massive win, one we’ve needed. It shows an awful lot of character to come from a goal down and a mistake which led to a goal. Mentally it will give all the players a lift.
“I think there’s relief because of the run we’ve been on. I’ve just addressed them in the dressing room and said, ‘enjoy it but don’t get too high because we’ve got another big game on Tuesday’ and recovery is the most important thing for them now.”
Former Leicester attacker Gary Lineker was also pleased with the Foxes win against Wolves on Saturday and he took to Twitter to react to the victory.
