The former England international spent some time with the media after the game, reflecting on his tenure in the Midlands. He said: "I missed a couple before that but once JJ [James Justin] put me through there I was never going to miss it. Obviously getting the dogs' abuse from the away fans up there, there was only one place I was going.
"It's been amazing, it's been a rollercoaster, it really has," he said after Leicester's 2-0 home win. "But the good thing is there's been way, way, way more highs [than lows] and I thank everyone. I never thought we'd be in the Champions League, we'd win the league, and we've all been there for a reason."
