Leicester boss Steve Cooper, speaking to the media about Alejandro Garnacho's goal against them in defeat by Manchester United: "Maybe there's a bit of sympathy for the linesman.

"He's a Premier League linesman and he's used to the protection of VAR.

"But he can't make a mistake like that. It was a big moment in the game. We score soon after and it should be 1-1. It's 2-1. The referee's enjoyed giving me a yellow card as well.

"He looked like he had a good time tonight. That was that. But I want to stand up for my team. You can't just see an image on the bench and just accept it."
