Leicester hero Heskey left 'bitterly disappointed' by Legia Warsaw defeat

Leicester City hero Emile Heskey slammed his old club after defeat at Europa League opponents Legia Warsaw.

Heskey believes their unconvincing performances are the most disappointing aspect of the defeat.

"It's bitterly disappointing to be honest, going into the tournament and you're joint favourites and then to be five points behind sitting at the bottom," Heskey told BT Sport after the game.

"And not playing that well is the disappointing part of it. 60 per cent possession, but can we say they really created some clear cut chances? They mostly created half chances and they'll be disappointed with that."

Heskey hopes Leicester can bounce back this weekend.

"They regroup," Heskey added when asked where Leicester go following their defeat.

"They've got Palace at the weekend, they need points in the Premier League as well, they've got to regroup."
