Leicester City had the better chances in Hertfordshire on Saturday, including Patson Daka’s saved penalty, but were unable to cut through and seal a much-needed win.

Still with a point on the board for their efforts, there were positives, including a clean sheet, but there is need for wins – and soon – in the battle for Sky Bet Championship survival.

“We had a great performance in general, a great squad performance,” Okoli said afterwards. “I think we are a little bit disappointed because we didn’t take our chances.

“[The clean sheet is] not something that we are taking for granted because it’s not been easy this season, so a clean sheet is always a good thing to have and we keep going like this.”

City were boosted by the appearance of Jamaal Lascelles in the starting XI, with the former Newcastle United centre-back bringing experience to the backline.

“He’s such a wonderful player with such experience,” Okoli added. “I can only learn from him and I’m learning a lot in these last weeks being around him. We’re all happy to have him here. He’s a great player.”

On the travelling Foxes faithful, who travelled in numbers, he continued: “We had all of our fans here who were supporting us, so we’re very glad they came and they pushed us today, but we’re a little bit disappointed for not taking our opportunities.”
