Pearson explains clashing with Leicester fans during Liverpool defeat

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has explained clashing with fans during defeat at Liverpool.

Pearson, whose side have now lost six and drawn two since beating Manchester United in October, had a row with a disgruntled fan after another defeat.

"I had a spat with a fan towards the end. I don't know what they are looking at at times," he told BT Sport.

"If they cannot see the players are having a proper go maybe they need to stay at home.

"The players are giving everything. I will always look for the positives. It is very easy for people to look at what we are not good at.

"I don't like the commitment of my players being questioned. If they honestly think they are not committed, they are very wrong. Maybe that is why I stay in the stand."
