Leicester boss Pearson confident Ulloa can continue scoring

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is confident Leonardo Ulloa will carry on scoring.

The Foxes hitman has bagged five goals so far to eclipse the likes of Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck and Robin van Persie.

Pearson said: "With goals, come expectation levels but I have not noticed much shift in him if I'm being honest.

"He's a quiet-ish sort of man - a really likeable guy. I don't think his outlook will change dramatically.

"He's certainly had no more pressure put on him from within.

"Leo's settled in very well. He's got off to an outstanding start in terms of goals return but also his all-round play has been excellent."
