Twitter tears into referee Jon Moss after Leicester’s last-minute penalty equaliser

Controversial

Tom Victor

Leicester City kept their unbeaten run going, but not without controversy.

With less than 30 seconds left on the clock, they were trailing at home to West Ham and down to 10 men after Jamie Vardy picked up a second booking for simulation.

But then Jeff Schlupp went down in the West Ham box and referee Jon Moss pointed to the penalty spot, having earlier given the visitors a penalty and denied strong shouts from both teams.

It was a contentious decision, and those who seemed the angriest were not West Ham fans, but rather supporters of title challengers Arsenal and Tottenham.

The neutrals seemed to be enjoying it, mind you

And there were theories. Lots of theories.

And we all know what comes next.
