Brendan Rodgers says Raphael Varane "used experience" to get Leicester goal disallowed

Brendan Rodgers has claimed that Raphael Varane "used his experience" in order to have Leicester City's potential winner ruled out against Manchester United.

James Maddison had put the Foxes 2-1 up at Old Trafford before referee Andre Marriner consulted with VAR on the pitch-side monitor and overturned his original decision, disallowing the goal after deeming Varane to have been fouled.

With the match ending in a draw after Fred's equaliser cancelled out Kelechi Iheanacho 's opener, Rodgers was left frustrated and claimed Leicester "deserved to win the game."

"I thought we were very good in large spells of the game. We started well and could have bene precise with out passing but in the main the positioning and movement was good," the Foxes boss told Sky Sports.

"The second half we scored a couple of great goals, their keeper makes a great save and we are bitterly disappointed not to get the goal.

"Varane's used his experience. He's an experienced player, he gets the contact and goes down but that wasn't what led to the goal. There were opportunities for them to clear it but we were deserving of that.

"Every week we are seeing this types of actions, we felt we deserved to win the game. We're bitterly disappointed with the decision."

Another contentious decision was Scott McTominay 's ill-timed tackle on Maddison which only resulted in a yellow card.

Rodgers felt further punishment was warranted, adding: "We had one in the season when Ayoze Perez was sent off, that one was similar, the ball gets way he has to make a challenge. We got the yellow."

The Northern Irishman concluded: "It was a good performance away here, disappointed to not win and that is always a good sign. The football was very good but we passed
