Leicester left-back Victor Kristiansen says the team have shown “great spirit and mentality” in coming back to earn points in recent games.

The Foxes have fallen behind in eight of their 10 Premier League matches this season, but have come back on four occasions to get a win and three draws.

It was once again a goal deep into added time last weekend that saw them get a point from their trip to fellow promoted side Ipswich Town.

“It’s not been going our way in the first 10 games, but we have shown a great spirit and mentality of trying to come back,” the Denmark international told BBC East Midlands.

“Sometimes it happens, but sometimes we sit in the dressing room afterwards frustrated with how we started the game.

“In life when you fall down, you really learn how to pick yourself up and we have shown that.

“Now is about staying on top of that and not going behind, but we know that when we go behind we know how to pick ourselves up.”

While it took some time for Leicester to find a first victory on their return to the top flight, they sit 15th in the table after 10 games, five points above the relegation zone.

With a number of players in the squad having played in the league previously, Kristiansen feels this is something that will help the team in staying up this campaign.

“The majority of the team has great Premier League experience,” he said. “I think it gives some kind of comfort within the team.

“There are players that have tried it before, been to the big stadiums before, tried to play up against the dominating teams, so it is about taking the experience from those guys.”
