Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson said his side lacked that "killer instinct" as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Burnley.
Pearson's men were exceptional in the first half but went into the break with just a one-goal lead thanks to David Nugent's seventh from the penalty spot this season.
For all their dominance in the first half, Burnley responded well in the second and levelled through Danny Ings.
City created plenty of chances but failed to take them as only three of their 19 attempts on goal were on target.
"You look at the game in its entirety and it is another good illustration of you have got to score when you're on top," said Pearson after the game.
"We created some very good goalscoring opportunities and, unfortunately, we weren't able to capitalise when we were on top. You need to do that when you play against top sides.
"We just missed that little bit of killer instinct, I suppose. We have had some very good chances today.
"I am not going to complain too much. It is about taking your chances. The good thing is we are creating plenty of them.
"I was pleased with the players' application today. I thought the first-half performance, in particular, was excellent. I think we finished the game pretty strongly.
"All in all, I still think it was a game we should have won but we were playing against a very good side, who have good levels of resilience."
City went ahead in the 14th minute when Jamie Vardy was bundled over by Ben Mee inside the box.
"It was a penalty, it's as simple as that. I don't know how you could argue that it wasn't. I thought the referee did well today," said Pearson.
