Fan spat leaves Leicester boss facing FA charge

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has been charged by the FA with allegedly using abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator at the Liverpool match, which the Foxes lost 3-1. He has until 6pm on December 16 to respond to the charge.

Pearson refused to apologise to the fan despite calls from the Leicester City Supporters Club to say sorry after a video emerged of the argument.

Pearson said last week: "I have had run-ins with fans in the past and in the heat of the moment these things happen and there won't be any apology."
