Leicester boss Pearson left frustrated with Newcastle defeat

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson was left frustrated with their 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United.

Gabriel Obertan proved the matchwinner to ease the pressure on Newcastle.

Pearson, who saw Marc Albrighton hit the bar with a first-half cross, was disappointed to come away empty-handed after a real tussle on Tyneside.

He said: "If you are not creating or taking your chances, it's important to keep a clean sheet and we have been done on the counter-attack from what was a very promising situation for ourselves.

"It's frustrating, there's no doubt about that, but I know that we will get a positive response from the players."
