Leicester boss Nigel Pearson praises Chris Wood as the striker scores a first-half hat-trick in Saturday's 4-0 win at Bristol City in the Championship.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has praised Chris Wood after the striker scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 4-0 win at Bristol City in the Championship.

Wood bagged all of his goals inside the opening 45 minutes at Ashton Gate before Matty James sealed the victory early in the second half.

"Chris Wood has taken his chances for us and scored some early goals, which makes a big difference," Pearson told Sky Sports News.

"He is a very focused young player who has fitted in straight away and gives us a height and physical presence up front, which perhaps we lacked."

The win has moved Leicester up to third place in the Championship table.
