Leicester boss Nigel Pearson hailed his side's 2-1 victory over Blackpool but admitted their opponents would be scratching their heads after losing a hard-fought Bloomfield Road contest.The Foxes went ahead in the first half through Dany N'Guessan and doubled their lead thanks to substitute Lloyd Dyer.But a late goal by Stephen Dobbie gave Blackpool hope and the home fans believed they should have had a penalty when captain Charlie Adam went down in the penalty area under pressure from N'Guessan.Adam picked up a booking for his troubles which will also earn the Scotland international a two-match suspension."There might have been a little bit of contact, but he went down very easily," admitted Pearson. "I'm not going to comment any further just as I don't when decisions go against us."Both sides tried to win the game and both played 4-3-3. Blackpool will be scratching their heads as to how they've not got something out of this game. If they could defend like they attack they would be top of the league."
