This is Leicestershire --
Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson believes his side produced their best all-round performance of the season to beat Wigan.
A first-ever City goal from Liam Moore and a late penalty from David Nugent gave his side their fourth win from the first Championship six games.
Pearson said he was pleased with how his side had controlled the game throughout against a Wigan side awash with Premier League players.
"You could argue that was our best all-round performance," said Pearson, who watched the game from the stand after being handed a touchline ban following the defeat at Charlton two weeks ago.
"I thought we controlled the game for the majority of the time, even in the period when Wigan had a bit more possession than us probably, just before we went 2-0 up.
"We changed our own shape to deal with that and were still pretty comfortable. We defended set plays pretty well.
"The important thing was the team played well and were able to win a game against a side that will do well this year with the players they have."
Despite their good points return, City had not been at their very best until Wigan visited the King Power Stadium. But Pearson believes his side deserve more credit for the way they have begun the campaign.
"I keep hearing about what we haven't done this season but we have had a pretty decent start," he said.
"I think we have shown we have capabilities to win games when we are not playing well but, against Wigan, we played well and won.
"That is our sixth win of the season. We do what we need to do to win games, whether that is 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. It is about having players who are willing and able to do what they have to do to win games." Reported by This is 3 days ago.
