Nigel Pearson: 'Leicester City patience paid off'

Nigel Pearson has praised Leicester City's patience during their 2-1 win over Huddersfield Town.

The Foxes were 2-0 up before the end of the first half, but had to defend a one-goal lead for the last 30 minutes following an own goal from Paul Konchesky.

Speaking after the match, the manager told reporters: "Today was about being patient. Early goal changed complexion, looked dangerous, disrupted their game plan, but they were dangerous too.

"[We] would like to close games out more efficiently. Open game, both sides tried to be constructive. Got 3 points, that's all I'm concerned with."

The result has left Leicester third in the Championship table.
