A tough day for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side, it all turned on Emile Smith Rowe’s early second half goal, which was followed by Adama's strike 20 minutes later, confirming a seventh straight Premier League loss.

Reflecting on the Foxes’ performance, Justin felt that we failed to capitalise on a bright start, unable to find the net while on the front foot.

Justin made his 21st Premier League appearance of the season on Saturday.

“We tried to do a professional job today and it didn’t work out,” the defender admitted following full-time at King Power Stadium. “We conceded goals again and obviously didn’t put the ball in the back of their net, so the lads and myself are really quite frustrated and deflated.

“When you’re flying high, everything seems to turn your way and we just need to find a way to turn the screw when we have pressure on teams and be ruthless. We came out in the second half and got sucker-punched early and that set up the rest of the second half, where they kept us at arm-length for the most of it.

“When you’re in those moments, things just don’t go your way. We were chasing the game and out of shape. We’ve got to try and work harder to stop those transition moments as much as we can, because a lot of goals are scored from transition.”

Battling with Antonee Robinson.

Remaining 19th in the Premier League standings, the full-back knows that it is time to turn performances into positive results, in order to arrest the current trend and begin to climb out of danger.

The 26-year-old continued: “It’s something that we can’t dissect right at the moment, because it’s so fresh but we’ll get back, look at the video to improve and see if there are any positives to take out of the game and try and build on it.

“We know the situation that we’re in. There’s no two ways about it; we’re in a scrap. We realise that and we’re doing everything we can to get out of this scrap and stay in the league and we’ve all spoken and took our turn to get across our point.

“We need to stick together as a team. We know it’s going to be a long stretch to the end of the season where every point counts.”
