Nigel Pearson: 'Poor finishing letting us down'

Leicester manager Nigel Pearson suggests that poor finishing is letting down otherwise good performances as they lost 1-0 at Crystal Palace to stay bottom of the table.

Nigel Pearson has claimed that Leicester City are not getting just rewards for their performances following a damaging 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace this afternoon.

Joe Ledley scored the only goal of the game as the Foxes fell to a third straight Premier League loss which leaves them rooted to the bottom of the table.

Leicester had 19 attempts on goal at the King Power Stadium, five of which were on target, and Pearson was again left ruing the familiar problem of a lack of end product.

"It was a game that we had chances in, and to come away with nothing is quite tough for us. I don't think they caused us problems," he told reporters.

"We're not taking chances. They didn't have too much in terms of creativity. It's disappointing because we had plenty of good situations. We are talking about the same things again.

"It's about us unable to turn positive displays into results. It's frustrating we can't turn performances into results."

Leicester are three points from safety and face Arsenal, Everton and Manchester City in their next three top-flight games.
