Match Reaction v Leicester (home).

[Marc Overmars]

It wasn’t a challenge from Vardy though. It was a coming together and his momentum took him into Mustafi. At least that’s what happened in the eyes of the ref. Only Vardy himself knows if he meant to leave one on Mustafi, so it’s difficult to interpret those kind of incidents because they appear so accidental and innocuous.

With clumsy attempts to get the ball like Nketiah, it’s easier to determine what happened.

Vardy is as nasty as they come so I reckon he probably did mean it but I can see why it went unnoticed.
