Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson believes his side were the better team in their disappointing 1-1 draw with Brighton.
With 88 minutes gone, City looked destined for all three points after Matty James had put them ahead, but Kasper Schmeichel makes a fine save in the 1-1 draw at Brighton a late strike from Kazenga Lua Lua snatched the points away from Pearson's charges.
A win would have seen City climb back into the play-off places but the result sees them remain seventh in the Championship, still two points of the sixth-placed Seagulls.
"I think we were the better side," said Pearson. "They will be happier with the point I'm sure but there is no point bemoaning the fact we have conceded at the end because that is how it is.
"Looking back at the opportunities we had today, it was certainly a much-improved performance.
"The problem for us at the moment is that we are out of the habit of winning and, unfortunately, we have conceded a late goal to deny us that elusive win.
"When you come here, you have got to understand the problems they can cause you and I thought we coped very well. We were very disciplined and created some great chances.
"The concentration levels today were good but we have come unstuck by their biggest threat today and I'm disappointed for the players because I think they have worked very hard today.
"I've seen the goal again and Kasper was unsighted and I am sure he would have saved it if he had had a better view but it's unfortunate that we have been unable to keep that clean sheet to win us the game.
"I am not despondent about it because there is a lot to be positive about in today's performance in the sense that although we are out the habit of winning, which is the biggest problem for us, we showed a lot of quality today."
