Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson has defended Wes Morgan following claims that the Foxes skipper should have been sent off during his side's 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest.
Forest manager Billy Davies has insisted that the defender should have received a red card for taking out Jamie Mackie, but Pearson does not believe there was any malice in his challenge.
"These things happen. Wes, in the first half, just fell on [Mackie]. There was nothing malicious. It was just a wee bit clumsy. That happens in games," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.
"I try not to speak too much about individual incidents, the officials have a job to do and I can't make too many comments about it, without seeing things again."
Forest lie in fifth place in the table following the draw, while the Foxes are top with an eight-point lead over second-placed Burnley.
