Brendan Rodgers said he had "nothing but admiration" for his Leicester players despite the devastating 4-2 defeat against Tottenham that denied them a place in the Champions League on Sunday. Jamie Vardy twice put Rodgers' men ahead from the penalty spot, leaving them on course to reach the Champions League for just the second time. Kane is keen to move on from his boyhood club after Tottenham also missed out on the Champions League for a second straight year. Schmeichel was one of the heroes at Wembley eight days ago, but the Dane's mistake cost his side dear with a place in the Champions League worth at least 60 million. Leicester were furious Kane was not penalised for handball before he teed up the Welshman to slot into an unguarded goal.
