Bruno Berner is confident Leicester will bounce back from their 2-1 defeat by West Brom and prove they are in the Championship promotion race for the long haul.

Berner halved Leicester's deficit with a close-range tap-in in injury time but the Foxes could not complete the comeback.

The Swiss defender, who was also on target in a 2-1 defeat by Preston earlier this season, said: "The last time we lost to Preston at home we bounced back immediately at Middlesbrough.

"A top team always reacts well after a defeat and that is what we are going to do against Plymouth in two weeks' time.

"It is so far, so good this season but there is so much more to come from us. We are up there but it is very tight. There are 30 games to go and we believe we can keep up with the leaders."
