We got lucky, admits Pearson

Hull City 0 Leicester 1

The Foxes had not won any of their previous 13 matches, dating back to their stunning 5-3 success over Manchester United in September, but saw off Hull 1-0 thanks to Riyad Mahrez’s first-half strike.

Yet how they maintained a clean sheet is anyone’s guess as the Tigers ramped up the pressure and laid siege to the away goal in the final 20 minutes.
