Leicester City have won three of their last four League One games

Russell Martin believes Leicester City will only get better after easing to a 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic on Tuesday night.

The Foxes made it three wins from their last four matches with victory over League One's bottom side. Emil Riis' brace and Bobby De Cordova-Reid's injury-time penalty ensured City bounced back from their weekend defeat at Luton Town.

Leicester are now 11th in the table, just three points off the play-off places ahead of Saturday's clash with Stevenage. Having taken nine points from a possible 12, Martin believes his side are improving with every game.

"I'm really proud of the players," he said. "It was really important for us to honour Khun Vichai in the right way tonight. It's a big day for the club and ownership, I think we've done them proud today. It was a really emotional day, to be honest, and a really important day.

"I think the performance was really good. The most pleasing thing is we're going to get better and better, I really believe that. But we improved from Saturday and that's what we have to show. We have to grow and we have to show a good response, so I'm pleased."

OPINION

He added: "I liked that side of us tonight [scrapping]. We fought and we ran and we stole the ball. We battled and then we also played some really good football and had some brilliant moves. The last bit wasn't quite there on occasions, which was a bit frustrating for everyone. I thought we bought both sides tonight and I really enjoyed that."
