Leicester fans may have felt a little better about last night's defeat to Liverpool, if they were able to be collected by their own helicopter from the King Power turf after the game.

That was the luxury afforded to Thai businessman and Foxes owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

The entrepreneur watched on as a Simon Mignolet own goal had his side dreaming of a first Premier League victory since their 5-3 win over Manchester United in September.

But goals from Adam Lallana, Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson sent the Reds back to Anfield with all three points.

It wasn't the only note-worthy incident after the final whistle in the East Midlands, and under-fire manager Nigel Pearson had a 'spat' with a supporter while making his way down from his vantage point in the stands.

The Leicester boss said: "I had a spat with a fan towards the end. I don't know what they are looking at at times.

"If they cannot see the players are having a proper go maybe they need to stay at home."
