Leicester City veteran Christian Fuchs says Leeds United defender Luke Ayling apologised to him for diving to try and win a penalty during Monday's Premier League clash.

Ayling took a tumble inside the box 17 minutes from time in Leeds' 4-1 defeat to the Foxes after appearing to anticipate contact from Fuchs, but it never came and the Leicester veteran instead pulled out of making any challenge.

Fuchs has posted on Twitter insisting his opponent apologised on two separate occasions for his role in the incident.

"In all fairness @lukeayling_8 excused himself right after the penalty incident and after the game for his dive," Fuchs tweeted.

"If I went all the way in [to tackle] it would have been a penalty for sure. Thanks for the great game Luke!"
