Pearson was captain when Wednesday won the League Cup in 1991 – but his former side inflicted Leicester’s first defeat in nine as Leon Clarke struck twice. Wednesday had gone three games without a goal but Clarke ended their drought inside six minutes.
He fired in an unstoppable shot and doubled his tally with a close-range finish from Jermaine Johnson’s cross.
