Pearson says Leeds and Peterborough have had 'phenomenal' runs

Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson says he is glad his side are back on form as they move within touching distance of promotion to the Championship.

The Foxes' 1-0 win over Leeds puts them one win off automatic promotion.

Pearson told the BBC: "We are fallible like everybody else but our blip has been not as serious as other people's.

"People were asking a few questions of us and said we were faltering at the final hurdle but back-to-back wins have put us in a very strong position."

Pearson added that other League One promotion chasers have made life difficult for his side.

"You have to give credit to the other teams, Peterborough and Leeds have had an absolutely phenomenal run," he said.

"We've tried to continue to do what we do best but unfortunately at times other teams have been better than us.

"We've been trying to do the right things but unfortunately up until the last week or so we've been pegged back somewhat."

Leicester face Southend away on Saturday.
