Nigel Pearson hailed the contributions of goal-scoring duo Leonardo Ulloa and Chris Wood as the English Premiership newcomers gained a vital point at home.
Speaking to LCFC.com, Foxes boss Pearson said: “I think for Leo coming with the talk about how much he’s cost, he’s valued very much among the group of players. I’m very pleased for him to get off the mark.

“For Woody (Chris Wood) on the back of a week with the amount of speculation surrounding his own personal situation it speaks volumes for the lad that he can come on and having one chance took it very, very well.
“All in all it’s been a good day for both of those two but you keep it in context, it’s about what we’ve done as a team and I think we thoroughly deserved to get something out the game today.” said Pearson.
