James Maddison questions Raphael Varane reaction for disallowed Leicester goal in Man United draw

Leicester City star James Maddison has conceded that his disallowed goal was "probably" rightly chalked off but questioned the part Manchester United defender Raphael Varane played in the decision.

Maddison thought he had won the game for Leicester after slamming a shot past David De Gea. However, referee Andre Marriner was advised by VAR to review the goal via the pitchside monitor rule and duly ruled out the strike for a Kelechi Iheanacho foul on the Reds defender in the build-up.

The Leicester celebrations were quickly halted as both sides played out a 1-1 draw. Speaking to Sky Sports after the game, Maddison conceded that Varane was likely fouled, though questioned the manner in which Varane went down under pressure from his team-mate.
