Sick of Fellaini always getting away with elbowing players.

Leicester don't half provide fast paced matches.

If Mahrez doesn't go to ground so softly, I think he gets that penalty.

It was a clear penalty, terrible refereeing.

Should've been a penalty for Leicester that.

Agreed. Perhaps if he had been suitably penalised for his far too frequent use of the elbow at Everton we would not be seeing him continue doing so now he is at United. Sooner he is shipped out of the premier league the better. Don't need players like that.

Fellaini with common assault on Huth.

Hope he's banned for a long time.

Poor call from the referee there. In my opinion after seeing the replay it looked like the Manu defender had stuck in his foot to trip up the Leicester player.

Replays I have seen suggest refs' view was obscured by another player - he would have needed to have been advised by another official to have given it.

To be fair, I didn't think it was a penalty at first sight. I thought the defender had just stood his ground. The replay showed differently, the defender did stick his leg out.

Fellaini very lucky, he was retaliating against Huth pulling at his hair, but lashing out like that was OTT. But there's a lot going on out there, I'm rather glad that the referee has decided not to get card-happy. Fascinating game so far.

It would be poetic justice if Fellaini was retrospectively punished for his elbowing of Huth and his ban ensured him missing the FA Cup Final.

United now playing like a team 17 points behind Leicester.

Why should he get treated differently than other players for similar offences?

I suppose it's also fine for Huth to pull his hair ?

Fair point Niteowl and in real time it was tougher to judge the split second mistiming by the defender. Still for me it was a pen.

I agree with you, unfortunately it was one which got away.

I'm not a great fan of Schmeichel, but he is having a terrific, commanding game today where his dad was so wonderful.

United were so much better in the first half, What on earth did Van Gaal say to them at half time? Yes,. I hold him responsible for everything bad at United, aside from Fellaini's elbowing.

Wes Morgan such a rock at the heart of that Leicester defence.

Drinkwater sent off for a second bookable offence!

Leicester fortunate,that was a penalty for me against Drinkwater. It won't make any difference as Spurs will not beat Chelsea and the title will be Leicester's if they hold on for a draw today.

Brilliant goalkeeping by Kasper Schmeichel!

It was one thing to get to the ball first in the area but another to get to it first outside the area when he couldn't handle it.
