Crystal Palace pile pressure on Leicester manger Pearson

Leicester 0 Crystal Palace 1: Leicester City last night described reports that they had sacked manager Nigel Pearson as "inaccurate and without foundation".

Reports emerged yesterday that the Foxes, who are rooted to the foot of the table, had parted company with their manager.

The rumours emerged 24 hours after Pearson was involved in a bizarre incident in Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace.
