Brendan Rodgers has claimed that Raphael Varane "used his experience" in order to have Leicester City's potential winner ruled out against Manchester United.
James Maddison had put the Foxes 2-1 up at Old Trafford before referee Andre Marriner consulted with VAR on the pitch-side monitor and overturned his original decision, disallowing the goal after deeming Varane to have been fouled.
With the match ending in a draw after Fred's equaliser cancelled out Kelechi Iheanacho 's opener, Rodgers was left frustrated and claimed Leicester "deserved to win the game."
"I thought we were very good in large spells of the game. We started well and could have bene precise with out passing but in the main the positioning and movement was good," the Foxes boss told Sky Sports.
"The second half we scored a couple of great goals, their keeper makes a great save and we are bitterly disappointed not to get the goal.
"Varane's used his experience. He's an experienced player, he gets the contact and goes down but that wasn't what led to the goal. There were opportunities for them to clear it but we were deserving of that.
"Every week we're seeing these types of actions. We felt we deserved to win the game, we're bitterly disappointed with the decision."
Another contentious decision was Scott McTominay 's ill-timed tackle on Maddison which only resulted in a yellow card.
Rodgers felt further punishment was warranted, adding: "We had one in the season when Ayoze Perez was sent off, that one was similar, the ball gets way he has to make a challenge. We got the yellow."
The Northern Irishman concluded: "It was a good performance away here, disappointed to not win and that is always a good sign. The football was very good but we passed it well a lot of the time and got into some good areas. But for a decision, we would have won the game."
Maddison also give his take on the strike being ruled out, admitting: "The disallowed goal is one of them – you see them given and you see them not given. I'm obviously going to be biased and say it's not a foul. As soon as he goes over to the monitor you know. I saw Varane go down.

"The way he went down I thought it was a twist injury. As soon as the referee went to the monitor I knew something was going to happen that was going to spoil my party. The performance was good. We stamped our authority and we come away a little disappointed that we didn’t get three points. We could have got more from the game.
"They scored so quickly after us, which got Old Trafford bouncing again and got them pushing as the home team. I thought we were dominant in the first half. Sometimes you can almost feel in control even without the ball. They obviously played with Bruno [Fernandes] and [Paul] Pogba without a recognised striker. They've got tricky players in wide areas, but I felt we were in control. We were actually the better team."
