LEICESTER, England - Craig Shakespeare refused to declare Leicester safe from relegation despite leading his team into the top half of the Premier League standings.

The Foxes moved up to 10th spot after a 2-0 victory over Sunderland on Tuesday that left beleaguered Black Cats boss David Moyes looking doomed to the drop.

The triumph extended Shakespeare's winning run at the start of his Premier League management career to five games, and made it six wins from six in all competitions.
