Gary Lineker slams VAR as James Maddison delivers verdict on crucial decision

Brendan Rodgers' side were eyeing a first ever double over the Red Devils having beaten them at the King Power earlier this season. James Maddison thought he was on course to be the hero when he restored Leicester's lead in the second-half before reeling away to celebrate with the away fans.

His high was short-lived, however, as VAR intervened and advised Andre Marriner to consult the monitor and he subsequently ruled it out. Kelechi Iheanacho was deemed to have fouled Raphael Varane on the edge of the box, but Lineker was less than impressed and he tweeted: "Oh do me a favour."
