BBC Sport

Leicester City will continue to treat every match like a final until Championship safety is guaranteed, says goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk.

The Foxes beat Bristol City 2-0 on Tuesday to end a 10-match winless league run and move out of the relegation zone.

First-half goals from Ben Nelson and Abdul Fatawu had the Foxes on their way to delivering a first victory under manager Gary Rowett, while a second-half penalty save from Stolarczyk ensured Leicester ended a four-game losing run at home with their first league clean sheet for 31 league games.

"The whole team worked really hard today for the clean sheet and we earned it," Stolarczyk told BBC Radio Leicester.

"Obviously we had the penalty and the lucky save, shall I say. Apart from that I'm not sure I had any saves to make, and you could see the desire to put bodies on the line from the whole back four.

"It will give us all confidence - the back four, myself and the whole team - going into the next finals.

"Saturday will be treated like another final and we have keep that going until we become safe."

Leicester are at home agains on Saturday when they host Queens Park Rangers.

You can listen to more from Stolarczyk, as well as Foxes manager Rowett, on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast on BBC Sounds.
