Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson "annoyed" by draw with Burnley

Pearson "annoyed" by draw

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has admitted that his side should have beaten Burnley following Saturday's dramatic draw at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes were seconds away from claiming the win in front of their own fans, but Ross Wallace's 96th-minute free kick saw Burnley snatch a point.

Having seen his team dominate against the Clarets, Pearson believes that they should have come away from the match with the spoils.

"I'm annoyed, we should win the game," he told BBC Sport. "We're better than we were last season and I don't think Burnley are as good as they were on today's performance.

"Burnley didn't come here to play any fluid football, they came to be difficult to beat. We didn't do enough with the ball but we still looked comfortable."

Leicester continue their Premier League campaign on October 18 when they make the trip to struggling Newcastle United.
