Harvey Barnes makes 'difficult' Leicester City admission after Norwich win

Harvey Barnes has claimed that Leicester City were never short of confidence during their poor run as they ended a seven-game winless streak with a 3-0 win over Norwich City on Wednesday.

Jamie Vardy's brace put Brendan Rodgers' side 2-0 ahead in the second before James Maddison struck into the roof of the net against his former side to lift the Foxes back into the Premier League's top 10. Barnes grabbed two assists at the King Power Stadium, his first since March, and the academy graduate discussed his side's belief amongst themselves after the game.

Speaking to LCFC TV, Barnes said: "It's (confidence) something that we've always had, but when you're on a difficult run, you need to keep believing as a team and keep creating and trying to get that goal. Sometimes it doesn't come, but as long as you keep going and keep creating, a lot of the time it does."

Brendan Rodgers' side struggled to break down Norwich in the first half, with Dean Smith's side having the best chance with Teemu Pukki striking the post. But City showed glimpses of their best after the break and Vardy's first goals since the win at Burnley in March set them on their way to earning a valuable three points.

Barnes discussed his team's patience on the evening to the club's media after a disappointing first half. He said: "In the first half, we had to be patient. The goal wasn't quite coming but we kept going, and in the second half it paid off.

"It was a result that was needed for us. You can see in the first half, we were getting there but we were getting a bit frustrated still. We were getting into good areas but not quite getting the finishing touch or the final pass wasn't quite there.

"But then you saw in the second half that little bit of composure
