Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson has praised striker David Nugent after his side's FA Cup win against Norwich City on Saturday.

Nugent scored the winner as the Championship side recorded a 2-1 win over their Premier League opponents.

"Nugent is so confident. He plays with a smile on his face," said Pearson.

"He is a very positive influence and his work-rate is exceptional. He is a very popular player in the team and today he showed the quality he has got.

"We played with a lot of discipline and desire and didn't make a lot of mistakes."

The draw for the quarter-finals will be made tomorrow (Sunday).
