Claude Puel admitted his Leicester City players were naive as they conceded a last minute winner to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

City had fought back twice to equalise after going behind for the 15th time in 23 league games this season and they seemed on course for a valuable away point after Wes Morgan’s late header, but they were caught out as they pushed for a winner in added time and Diogo Jota completed his hat-trick to deliver another blow to Puel’s side, who have now lost four of their last five games in all competitions.

The Frenchman said his side should have settled for the point and seen out what he described as a crazy game.

“It was a crazy game and to be beaten for us in that manner at the end,” he said.

“In added time we were naive, it was a big disappointment. I am hoping we can learn with a different situation. It was important in this moment to run the clock down and to finish with a fantastic feeling.

“It was a difficult game with different emotion and it was a fantastic possibility and opportunity to keep this feeling for the future.

“Now we have a different feeling, we feel negative about the result.”

Puel and City must address their slow starts in games after they found themselves 2-0 after just 12 minutes but they showed character to fight back through Demarai Gray’s goal and Harvey Barnes’ deflected strike, which was given as an own goal by Connor Coady.

“I think we started our game with a poor performance and then we conceded two goals to similar chances, it was a poor start again,” he said.

“After our second goal I think we had a good period with quality, a lot of chances, a save from their goalkeeper and it was the right moment to come back into the game.

“We didn’t manage the game until the end of the first half with the same quality. It was important to come back with another positive attitude to come back with good desire and good quality.

“I think it was a fantastic feeling to come back in this situation. It was a difficult situation in the first half and to come back with this feeling.

“We conceded a third goal we can prevent also, but we had a pleasure to come back another time with a third goal, it was a fantastic feeling after all this different emotion in the game and we didn't manage the end of the game with the right attitude, it is a big shame.

“It was a big disappointment of course.”
