Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers blasted the referee for not sending off Marcel Sabitzer of Manchester United.

The Foxes were bright in the opening half against the Red Devils, but eventually lost the game 3-0.

Rodgers felt that a tackle from Sabitzer in the first period, where he seemed to graze the knee of Wout Faes, should have seen red after a VAR review.

I don't know (why a red card wasn't shown),' he said post-game.

We've seen in the last few weeks, some of the decisions. Someone has said it was maybe after an incident but I don't buy that one.

If you look at Arsenal's penalty at Manchester City, Eddie Nketiah is in on goal and has a shot at goal, but the follow through makes it a foul, which makes it a penalty.

In this instance, even if the play has stopped, he's followed through and straight-legged him right on his knee."
