David Nugent buoyed by Leicester City's "massive chance"

Leicester striker David Nugent says that the Foxes have a "massive chance" of pipping their Premier League relegation rivals to safety.

David Nugent has urged his Leicester City teammates to make the most of the "massive chance" they have of winning their Premier League relegation battle.

Jamie Vardy grabbed a last-minute winner as the Foxes beat West Bromwich Albion 3-2 on Saturday to breathe new life into their survival bid.

Although still bottom of the table, Leicester are three points from safety and four of their last six games come against sides in the bottom half - including rivals Sunderland, Burnley and QPR.

"I'm obviously elated," Nugent, who scored at The Hawthorns, told the club's official website. "There were some great celebrations at the end of the game. We know it's a long way to go.

"We've still got seven games left, but two back-to-back wins have put us in with a massive chance."

Nigel Pearson's side host Swansea City on Saturday.
