Former Leicester star Gary Lineker was left furious after the Foxes controversially saw an opening goal against Chelsea snatched away from them as their winless start to the season continued with a 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
The visitors thought they had claimed the lead against the Blues in West London as Harvey Barnes tapped home from a corner with Blues goalkeeper Edouard Mendy flapping to claim the ball. However, both the referee Paul Tierney and VAR decided to rule out the strike - electing that the Leicester forward had fouled Mendy in the build-up to the goal, resulting in the scores being level at the break.
Lineker was left stewing at the decision and took to Twitter with his thoughts, posting: “For crying out loud, @LCFC have had a goal disallowed for absolutely nothing. Are you asleep at the desk VAR? Unbelievable.”
