“It was a clear elbow and I will let the FA take care of it,” he said. “We just move on, my face is still good so that’s all I care about. I love the challenge and I think they made a substitution and put two big guys on to make it difficult for me.
“I enjoy those type of challenges going to games knowing it is not going to be easy. It gives you extra motivation to put in extra work. It is great I am being marked that like and I am enjoying it.”
However, Nigel Pearson defended Wasilewski and the the Leicester manager accused Berahino of over-dramatising the incident.
He said: “I’ve seen it and it was not a problem at all. If they want punishment then I’m disappointed with their reaction. It was really good defending. He’s not gone to elbow him, it’s called the clothes-line.
“I’m not interested in players who are moaning after games. I think it’s poor when players bleat after games, leave it to their own managers.
“Players should keep their mouth shut and perform on the pitch, that’s what they are paid for.”
Wasilewski’s possible punishment completed another frustrating day for Leicester, who have lost four of their five games since their stunning 5-3 win against Manchester United.
They had chances in the first half to punish West Bromwich Albion but lacked creativity from the wings, with Riyad Mahrez an unused substitute and Anthony Knockaert and Jeff Schlupp not even involved.
The only goal of the game was fortuitous. Berahino’s 47th-minute cross was headed clear by Wes Morgan but the ball ricocheted off Esteban Cambiasso and rolled over the line.
Alan Irvine, the West Brom head coach, has lost just once in the last six league games and was even asked for a wave by supporters — but it was the flailing arm of Wasilewski that dominated debate after this game.
