Nigel Pearson: 'Leicester City win a relief'

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson expresses his relief following his side's 1-0 Premier League win away at Hull City on Sunday.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has expressed his relief at seeing his side end their 13-match winless run after defeating Hull City 1-0 in Sunday's Premier League game at the KC Stadium.

Riyad Mahrez's first-half strike proved enough to give the Foxes their first win in the top flight since beating Manchester United 5-3 back in September.

Pearson told reporters after the game: "Relief, that's the overriding feeling. But we need to back it up. We know we've dropped an awful lot of points. A lot of our performances have deserved more than what we had today.

"Steve BrucE will feel his side should have won the game and we have had that feeling a number of times this season, but we can't relax now. We produced a grit and determination to keep the ball out of the net and we rode our luck."

Leicester remain bottom of the Premier League, three points from safety.
