Nugent: Good Team Spirit

After conceding an agonising late equaliser in the 2-2 Barclays Premier League draw with Everton on Sunday, striker David Nugent believes his side’s team spirit is still as strong as ever.

The Foxes were unlucky not to leave Goodison Park with all three points after coming from behind to carry a 2-1 lead into the dying stages of the match.
Steven Naismith broke the deadlock with a low drive on 56 minutes, but Nigel Pearson’s men rallied, and the introduction of forwards David Nugent and Jamie Vardy sparked a second-half comeback.
Nugent converted a loose ball two minutes after coming on before Esteban Cambiasso side-footed home from inside the Toffees’ penalty box, with both goals benefiting from Vardy’s dangerous deliveries.
And while Romelu Lukaku’s , Nugent insists that his side will remain in high spirits as they head to title-chasing Manchester City for their next fixture on Wednesday 4 March at the Etihad Stadium.
“We’ve got a good team spirit here,” Nugent told Foxes Player. “We had it last year and we’ve kept it going – it’s just the results that haven’t being going for us.
“When you’re on the bench you’ve got to come on and try and make an impact – I think I’ve done that this season. Obviously Vards (Jamie Vardy) set up the two goals – I got one, and Esteban [Cambiasso] nearly got the winner against Everton. I’m just happy to make a contribution.
“We’ve got a mini-league to ourselves now. There are 12 games left and we’ve got probably one of the toughest games coming up a week on Wednesday against Manchester City away.
“We’ve seen Burnley go there and pick up a point, so I don’t see why we can’t go there and get a positive result as well.”
