Claudio Ranieri played down Leicester's position as early Premier League pacesetters as his side made it two wins out of two with victory at West Ham.
Having started the season with an impressive 4-2 home win over Sunderland, the Foxes sprung a surprise at Upton Park as goals from Shinji Okazaki and Riyad Mahrez were enough to see them beat the Hammers 2-1.
Dimitri Payet reduced the deficit for the home side as they looked to recover from a poor first half but their afternoon ended acrimoniously as goalkeeper Adrian was sent off in injury time.
The win for Leicester saw them replace Manchester United as league leaders on Saturday evening but, for Ranieri, the fact they have already accrued six points is much more important in achieving his long-term goals for the campaign.
He said: "I look at the table and then I say, 'OK, us six points.' That is important for us, not to be top of the league. That is for others, not me.
"I don't think too much. I look at my players, I train my players ... they can win, they can draw, they can lose, but now we have six points which is very, very important for us to maintain ourselves and play in that league.
"I want to maintain a low profile. We can't think we are top of the league. We have six points -- that is important for us."
Having been the better side in the first half, Leicester were forced back after the break but did not fold after conceding, and Ranieri was happy to see his players able to fight when things are going against them.
"In the second half we suffered a lot," the Italian said. "First half we played well: ball on the floor, play quickly, two touches and I think we surprised West Ham. Afterwards it was normal -- West Ham play at home, want to draw the match, and we conceded a lot of the pitch to them.
"We suffer and then I watched my players suffer and fight together. And that's it. They are afraid, I didn't know, but now I am very happy for all the performances."
