Leicester City just about saw off Doncaster Rovers to secure just their second home league win of the season to ease the pressure on Russell Martin

Russell Martin has told his Leicester players to continue showing the 'personality and aggression' that saw them over the line in their slender win against Doncaster Rovers.

City took the lead through John Lundstram's stunning strike on the stroke of half-time. Kamari Doyle then doubled the lead with an equally eye-catching goal of his own in the second half.

Doncaster threatened a comeback late on as Alfie May's effort took a touch off of Warren O'Hora before finding the back of the net.

Martin's side kept their visitors at arms' length in the closing moments to seal a vital win for them - and their manager. And Martin praised his players for their attitude.

He said: "I think the character and the personality after last week showed. The fight we showed. The level of aggression and togetherness, I loved it. So we have to live there all the time."

Martin added: "I think if we're going to achieve what we want to achieve, it's step by step. So we now have to go and win at Bromley and not look any further than that.

"But if we can build momentum, I think it will be really powerful. It will do the same for the crowd as well. Because they were great today, it was difficult last week. Today, they were brilliant and stuck with the team today."

Ahead of the game, Martin had suggested that his side needed to learn how to 'win ugly', with their performance against Doncaster potentially falling into that category.

Asked if he agreed with that, the City boss replied: "I don't because I think we're a better team. I think we played some brilliant football.

"But it's not even ugly stuff, it's basics. And in League One and Two and more than ever, the Premier League and Championship is you have to do them more because of what you come up against.

"And today the players did that. We have to be tough. The team I want is to play in an exciting way, in a fluid way. I wasn't that as a player.

"We have to be really tough in certain moments and it's like I said yesterday, you have to experience some pain on a football pitch at some point in any 90 minutes. Even if you win four-nil, there'll be a moment where it's tough.

"You have to be tough. And today we were tough and we have to build on that now."
