Leicester City boss celebrated with his players in true Italian style by having pizza after their 1-0 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday (24 October).

Striker Jamie Vardy scored in his seventh successive Premier League game in the 59<sup>th minute to move the Foxes to fourth in the table.

Asked by a reporter at the post-match press conference if he'd ordered the pizzas, Ranieri said: "Not yet, not yet. I said to my players on the pitch 'come on, we have a pizza now...finally.'"

"I'm very glad because it was a difficult match today, because Crystal Palace players and very, very tall; bigger; stronger and we fight. It was a battle for us; it was a tactical match," he said.

Palace came close to equalising with a looping header from Scott Dann, but a poor game overall proved to have no more real chances.

"It was a more Italian match than an English match. It was an English match just the last 10 minutes when Palace wanted to deliver a lot of balls in our box, and there was a very big battle," he added.
