    Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes spoke to BBC Radio Leicester after Saturday's 2-0 win at Cheltenham Town in the third round of the FA Cup.

    "It was a professional performance. We came here with the target of going through and we managed to do it," he said.

    "Credit to Cheltenham because they managed to make it not easy for us. It was important for us to make it back-to-back wins and to go through and keep a clean sheet. They are some positives for us to build on.

    "I'm pleased with the guys because we made some changes with players that have been training well and who deserved a opportunity. For them to show up today was important and all of them did a good job.

    "The FA Cup is a beautiful competition, a competition that Leicester has a big history in but we would like to go as far as we can this season."
