Ranieri eager to continue Leicester miracle

Claudio Ranieri is determined to keep Leicester City's stellar run going in the second half of the season.

The Foxes drew 0-0 with Manchester City at King Power Stadium on Tuesday night to finish 2015 joint-top of the Premier League, only behind Arsenal on goal difference.

After a brilliant opening 19 matches, which has delivered 11 wins and six draws, Leicester dropped just their second match in the form of a 1-0 loss to Liverpool on Saturday and Ranieri was delighted to see them respond against a quality opponent in City.

The Foxes boss is also keen to continue the East Midlands miracle as Leicester now look ahead to a bright 2016.

"We made a great match in a difficult game. I wanted a response after Liverpool and they responded very well," said the Italian on BT Sport.

"What we're doing is a miracle.

"I'd love to continue but it's not easy. We must keep fighting like today, that's our way."
