Why Leicester star complained about Arsenal ace Alexandre Lacazette in meeting with referees

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has reportedly complained about Arsenal star Alexandre Lacazette in a recent meeting with Premier League referees.

The two teams played at the Emirates Stadium earlier this month, with the Gunners clinching a 2-0 victory after goals from Thomas Partey and Lacazette, the latter of which frustrated Schmeichel because of a stuttered run-up before he dispatched a penalty. Players are not allowed to completely stop their approach before making contact with the ball, although several players have started stuttering or jumping during their run-up.

The Danish international was furious with the former Lyon frontman's spot-kick but referee Anthony Taylor and VAR had no issue with the Frenchman's finish. According to the Daily Mail, Schmeichel brought up his issue with stuttering run-ups at a recent captains call with refereeing body PGMOL.
