Nigel Pearson: "I had a spat with a fan"

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson claims that he had a spat with a fan at the King Power Stadium following the Foxes' 3-1 defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday night.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has admitted that he had a spat with a fan at the King Power Stadium following the Foxes' 3-1 defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday night.

The hosts opened the scoring when Leonardo Ulloa's shot rebounded off Simon Mignolet and into the Reds goal, but the visitors rallied round and struck back with three goals to secure all three points with relative ease.

Pearson told BT Sport after the game: "We can ill-afford to play any game with anything less than 11 against 11. Their third goal knocked the stuffing out of us. We have quality and commitment. We can't get downbeaten by tonight's result. We have to break the cycle we are in at the moment.

"I had a spat with a fan towards the end. I don't know what they are looking at at times. If they cannot see the players are having a proper go maybe they need to stay at home. The players are giving everything. I will always look for the positives. It is very easy for people to look at what we are not good at.

"I don't like the commitment of my players being questioned. If they honestly think they are not committed, they are very wrong. Maybe that is why I stay in the stand."

Leicester are rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table on 10 points from 14 games.
