Leicester City

“Looking to work again?” Gary Lineker jokes about Leicester City’s outcome while pundits remain steadfast.

Leicester City supporters react following the Premier League draw at Ipswich Town.

Leicester City benefited from key decisions in their dramatic 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town, with Match of the Day pundits suggesting the home side was denied a clear penalty and were unfortunate to have a player sent off.

 

Referee Tim Robinson rejected what seemed to be an obvious penalty when Conor Chaplin was pushed down by Abdul Fatawu.

 

Shortly after, he issued Kalvin Phillips a second yellow card for a challenge on Ricardo Pereira.

 

Ipswich’s situation deteriorated further when substitute Jordan Ayew combined with Jamie Vardy, slipping the ball under goalkeeper Arijanet Muric to equalize for Leicester.

 

Despite risking the ire of Foxes legend Gary Lineker—who humorously teased Joe Hart about returning to Match of the Day—the pundits leaned toward Ipswich’s perspective.

Hart stated, “I believe Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna has every right to be frustrated.

 

Fatawu definitely makes contact, and I was curious to see the replay to determine if Chaplin got a slight touch, but he evades it, making it a penalty for me.”

 

Regarding the red card, Micah Richards remarked, “I think Phillips is a bit unlucky. While he does extend his leg, he’s also trying to pull it back.”

 

The draw left Ipswich still in search of their first win of the season, while Leicester sits 15th in the standings with just 10 points and only two victories so far this campaign.
