Nigel Pearson pleased with pre-season victory over Everton

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has admitted that he was pleased with his side's performance in their pre-season win over Everton.

The Foxes faced off against Roberto Martinez's men in Bangkok and managed a 1-0 victory thanks to Gary Taylor-Fletcher's second-half strike.

Pearson told the club's official website: "It's a pre-season game, but we played a very good side today and, all in all, we go home with a very worthwhile exercise negotiated. We've picked up no injuries and we look forward to the next game.

"It was an interesting game in many ways. They showed a lot of quality in possession during the first half and during the second we changed our shape and had a bit more of the play, so it was a good workout in many different respects."

The two sides face off again in their Premier League opener on August 16 at the King Power Stadium.
