Pearson salutes high-flying Foxes
Matty Fryatt was the Foxes hero with a goal in each half to end his six-game drought.[LNB]"You get spells like that. But other people have chipped in, and we have been getting results," said Pearson.[LNB]"I'm sure Matty will be delighted to get two goals, but the bigger picture is about results. I thought it was a thoroughly professional performance.[LNB]"We are where we are on merit - although we won't be by Saturday evening. We can be satisfied with how the season has gone so far - and we are only a third of the way through.[LNB]"I can see how Rangers have put together a run of good results, so it's a good win for us."[LNB]Fryatt was beaming after his two-goal display, and said: "You get those runs, but to come here and get three points is a great performance from the team. Maybe my goals were overdue."[LNB]Adel Taarabt had fired Rangers ahead just after the half-hour.[LNB]But for once, the free-scoring hosts could not add to their tally - and Fryatt's two goals, the winner courtesy of a howler from home goalkeeper Radek Cerny, secured City's third straight win.[LNB]Rangers had put four past Preston, Reading and Derby in each of their last four matches but failed to fire in attack - while watching England boss Fabio Capello would have winced at some at the defending.[LNB]"Leicester didn't have to work hard for both goals, although the lad took them very well," said boss Jim Magilton.[LNB]"We were second-best all over the field and got our just rewards."[LNB]Fryatt's first goal came when he nipped in behind static Rangers central-defensive duo Kaspars Gorkss and Damion Stewart.[LNB]But worse was to follow in the second half when Cerny attempted a short clearance but sliced the ball straight at Fryatt, who charged forward and swept it back past the Czech.[LNB]Magilton was quick to back his goalkeeper, though, and said: "He's been great for us, and we are not going to hang him out to dry for that. He's a top-class player."[LNB]Rangers almost snatched a point at the death, but Chris Weale bravely saved at the feet of Wayne Routledge - and Akos Buzsaky blasted over.[LNB]Magilton added: "As much as we didn't get carried away by our recent fine form, I'm not going to go over the top about one loss."[LNB][LNB]
