Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson feels that his side "deserved" more from their 1-1 draw with Cardiff City.

A strike from Michael Keane looked to have sealed all three points for the Foxes but Rudy Gestede scored in injury time to earn Malkay Mackay's side a point.

"We deserved to win the game as we were much the better side," Pearson told reporters.

"It was a bit cruel on the players bearing in mind how late it was. This is never an easy place to come to and a bit of confidence has been lacking. But I thought we played very well."

Leicester are fifth in the Championship following the draw at the Cardiff City Stadium.
