Foxes must 'scrap and pick up points' after 'another game struck off' - Stowell

Former Leicester City goalkeeping coach Mike Stowell says Ruud van Nistelrooy's side need to stamp out their "individual errors" if they want to stay in the Premier League.

Speaking on BBC Radio Leicester's When You're Smiling podcast after the Foxes were beaten 2-1 at Aston Villa - a fifth straight defeat - Stowell said: "You absolutely can't gift goals to other teams.

"Leicester played for 94 minutes at a really decent level, yet two individual moments cost them and that won't be good enough to stay in the Premier League, if it continues.

"It is the team that holds their nerve most [that are going to survive relegation]. You have got to scrap and pick up points.

"Sometimes you can't come to Villa Park, play brilliantly and get three points - but you can come here, be dogged in a scruffy game and pick up one point.

"It is a tally to get to that magical 36 or 37 points, which will keep you in the league, but that is another game struck off now.

"There are now 18 games to get themselves another 22 points."
