Nigel Pearson has said that Leicester City must learn from their performances in the Premier League if they are to avoid relegation from the top flight this season.

The Foxes put Arsenal under pressure in the second half of their match at the Emirates this evening, but they were beaten 2-1, leaving them at the bottom of the table.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "We've played very well again and I could argue we created a lot of chances but as I said, I don't want to talk in terms of us being unlucky. I want us to learn from performances like tonight and make sure from here on in if we replicate that sort of performance we still have a good chance of avoiding relegation.

"It's all well and good talking about performances. It's alright looking on the bright side of life but ultimately it's about winning games and we continue to be under scrutiny because of the position we are in.

"What pleases me is these players never hide and are not afraid to shoulder responsibility."

Leicester travel to Aston Villa in the FA Cup at the weekend.
