Adams delight at first win

Report: Leicester 4-0 Leeds

Leicester boss Micky Adams praised his side's response to adversity after they cruised to a first win back in the Premiership by thrashing Leeds.

Adams admitted the Foxes deserved criticism after an abject 3-1 defeat against Aston Villa a fortnight ago.

That result left them with just two points from their opening four matches, but they are now among a clutch of clubs in mid-table.

"I thought we let ourselves down badly at Aston Villa, where we received a bit of criticism and rightly so, but we've now shown what we are all about," Adams said.

"We've set a level of performance I'm delighted with. I would have taken any margin of victory before the game, never mind that one.

You are quickly back down to earth at this level Micky Adams

"That first win is always important."

Adams understandably refused to get too carried away however, with Liverpool and Manchester United their next two opponents.

"This will give everybody confidence, but we can't become complacent because we go to Anfield on Saturday and then we welcome Manchester United the week after," he added.

"You are quickly back down to earth at this level, so we can't take it for granted and take games lightly at all.

"You have to start matches fast and furious and that's what we did against Leeds."
