'You want to work again?' Gary Lineker jokes about Leicester City verdict but pundits stick to guns
The big decisions went Leicester City’s way in their last-gasp 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town, with Match of the Day pundits believing the hosts should have had a penalty and were unlucky to be reduced to 10 men.
Referee Tim Robinson turned down what looked like a clear penalty when Conor Chaplin was barged over by Abdul Fatawu. Moments later Robinson showed Kalvin Phillips a second yellow card for a challenge on Ricardo Pereira.
And things went from bad to worse for struggling Ipswich when substitute Jordan Ayew played a neat one-two with Jamie Vardy before slipping the ball under goalkeeper Arijanet Muric to snatch a point for the Foxes.

But while risking the wrath of Foxes legend Gary Lineker - the MOTD host jokingly teased Joe Hart by asking “you want to work on Match of the day again, Joe?” - the pundits’ verdict went Ipswich’s way.
Hart said: “I feel like [Ipswich boss] Kieran McKenna has every right to feel aggrieved. I just feel like Fatawu has flown out there, and there's no doubt there's contact. It's just I was interested to see on the replay whether Chaplin manages to just get that little touch, but he just manages to get away and so that's a penalty for me.”
As for the red card, Micah Richards declared: “I think Phillips is unlucky. I know he does leave his leg out, but he's pulling it away at the same time.”
The draw left Ipswich still looking for a win this season, while Leicester are 15th on 10 points and still only with two victories so far this season.
