Leicester City head coach Gary Rowett believes his side are improving after earning a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday.

Patson Daka gave the Foxes the lead before Sindre Walle Egeli equalised in the second period.

The point is enough to lift them out of the relegation zone but Leicester remain without a win from their past 10 league games.

"First and foremost we knew we had three away games out of the first four fixtures against really in-form teams. To come here and do what we've done is testament to the players trying to buy into the structure and what we're trying to do," said Rowett.

"We maybe should have done better early on with Harry Winks' shot and Stephy (Mavididi). I liked the look of us in the first-half and to go a goal ahead with a well worked set-piece we were pleased at half-time."

Leicester remain in the relegation zone on goal difference but Rowett is pleased with how they stood up to Ipswich's second-half onslaught.

"They play with an incredible energy and we were under pressure in the second-half. We were backed up and didn't use the ball well enough but maybe that's because of the run we're in.

"I'm disappointed to concede but I can't complain that Ipswich didn't deserve something for their efforts."

Leicester are at home to Bristol City on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).
