Nigel Pearson frustrated with Sunderland draw

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson insists that his side did enough to win the game in their goalless draw against Sunderland at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson feels that his side were unlucky not to take all three points from their Premier League clash against Sunderland.

The Foxes extended their winless run in the top flight to seven games as they were forced to settle for the point at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

He told BBC Sport: "I thought we played pretty well under the circumstance - a difficult run of results - and created some good chances. You could argue we did enough to win the game.

"Before today we had only kept one clean sheet so there always positives from getting a point. It is frustrating for the players because they played well and created many opportunities.

"We tried to win the game. I felt we were more likely to win than our opponents. We were aggressive with the way we went about things but it didn't quite happen for us."

Leicester are 17th in the Premier League table, with 10 points from their 12 matches this season.
