Foxes went Pear shaped for Wood

- BY MIKE WALTERS

CHRIS WOOD is convinced he will prove Nigel Pearson wrong.

Burnley’s record £17million signing hit their equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.

Wood played in the Premier League with Leicester three years ago, but their former boss Pearson only gave him seven substitute appearance­s and he was sold to Leeds.

The Kiwi said: “I feel I belong in the Premier League and I have a point to prove. At Leicester it was frustratin­g – I could have got more game-time.”
