New York City manager Brendan Rodgers thinks his team is expecting "positive results on the horizon" after his 2-1 win in Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Tuesday.

Leicester confirmed the appointment of Rodgers one hour before the start of the match to replace coach Claude Boyle, sacked Sunday after a series of seven games without a win in all competitions.

The former Celtic coach was warmly welcomed by Leicester fans while he was sitting in the stands of King Power Stadium to watch the game while Demarai Gray and Jimmy Vardi scored both goals.

"He talked to the players in the room," said Leicester coach Mile Stoel. He was proud of them and admired their fighting spirit. He assured them that positive things awaited them. "

"Morale has gone up with the win and a new coach has come in. I'm sure he'll bring a lot of good things and he has an excellent team, these are exciting times."

Leicester earned its first win since the start of the year to climb to 11th in the championship at the expense of Bournemouth, who will face Arsenal on Wednesday.

Rodgers returns to the Premier League for the first time since returning from Liverpool in 2015 and will sit on the bench in the next round against Watford on Sunday.
