Leicester City v Manchester City - Premier League

Kasper Schmeichel saved a penalty from Sergio Aguero hoping to keep his team in the game at 0-0. Alas it was not enough with a lapse in concentration from the Foxes resulting in a Gabriel Jesus goal with 10 minutes left on the clock. The game also signaled a return for an old Fox favourite Matty James as well as Ederson’s WWE punch on Iheanacho.

Lets check out some Social Media reactions to the game:

Disappointed with the result but lots of positives to take away from it. Could have gone both ways. The King Power was unbelievable. Thanks for your support!

Neither Tyson Fury of Wilder will land a better punch tonight than Ederson has just landed on Iheanacho. No penalty either. #LCFC

Football is dead.
These are not penalties.

Judge for yourself and ask yourself a question, #Lcfc or not.@BBCRLSport @OwynnPA @StringerSport pic.twitter.com/BpkOo7dyaH

VAR will improve the game they said, it will ensure consistency & eradicate clear & obvious errors they said

Keep up the great work #lcfc pic.twitter.com/B7gnt8QDWq
