Leicester City have confirmed they are looking into reports of an altercation between manager Nigel Pearson and a section of fans during the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool last night.
The City boss had a heated exchange with one City fan behind the dugout, who had allegedly been using foul language towards him, reacting to the provocation and allegedly swearing back at the supporter.
A City spokesman said: "We are aware of an incident that took place during Tuesday night's match and are looking into the matter to establish a full and accurate account of proceedings. Once the facts have been determined and suitably corroborated, we will decide what next steps, if any, should be taken."
