Leicester manager Nigel Pearson saluted his side after they moved level on points with leaders Newcastle into second place with a 2-1 win at in-form QPR.Matty Fryatt was the Foxes hero with a goal in each half to end his six-game drought and Pearson hailed "a thoroughly professional performance".Pearson said of match-winner Fryatt: "You get spells like that. But other people have chipped in and we have been getting results."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."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."I can see how Rangers have put together a run of good results, so it's a good win for us."
