Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers is not pleased with VAR after a tight loss to Brighton in the Premier League.

The Foxes were bested 2-1 by Graham Potter's side, which marked their third league defeat of the season.

Despite a poor first half, Leicester were on top in the second period, and Rodgers felt several decisions went against them all game.

Two of their goals were ruled out due to Harvey Barnes obstructing goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.

"The first one is never a penalty," Rodgers said in his post-match press conference.

"I was disappointed with the process, it's clear it wasn't a penalty.

"He (Vestergaard) is fouled, he's been twisted, and his arm is up, the ball is headed onto his arm and he's not even looking at it.

"It's a very harsh decision, the fourth official didn't see it, the linesman was quite a way away, and then for it not to be looked at by Stuart (on his pitchside VAR screen), I was disappointed."
