Leicester manager Nigel Pearson has accepted a Football Association charge of using insulting words towards a fan.

The FA has confirmed that the 51-year-old has accepted the charge of using "abusive and/or insulting words towards a spectator" during his side's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool and has requested a personal hearing.

Pearson had refused to apologise to the fan despite a video emerging of the incident and calls from the Leicester City Supporters Club to say sorry.
