“It definitely gave us confidence [the early goal]. The way we pressed in the first half was great, it managed to help the defenders out and the team out.
“It was a great ball [from Redmond for his goal] in. I’ve kind of gambled, I was half unsure on what to do but I just stuck my head at it and it went in. It was a great ball in and I’m happy to get on the scoresheet.
“It’s always going to be tough, Leicester are a good team. They got the goal and it wasn’t a nice goal to give away, a soft goal. But we kept in it and could’ve knicked it at the end.
“But overall I thought it was a well-fought point.”
