Leicester City were involved in a thriller at the King Power, netting a last minute penalty to rescue a 2-2 draw with West Ham United.
Jamie Vardy’s opener had Leicester on course, but the England man was then sent off for diving.
Andy Carroll’s debatable penalty levelled things, before Aaron Cresswell scored a stunner to put West Ham in front.
But Jon Moss awarded Leicester a late penalty, allowing Leonardo Ulloa to save the day for the Foxes
As you’d expect, Twitter was in fine form.
It was all going so well:
The Vardy goal. Clinical. #LEIWHU https://t.co/TXywYcdrV0

But then the penalty decision changed the game:
Red card for Vardy for his second bookable offence. Dive or no dive? pic.twitter.com/JcQF1NYcsW #FPL

Unsurprisingly, Gary Lineker thought the Vardy incident was a penalty:
That is a diabolical decision. Penalty all day long.

But the media weren’t in agreement:
Fair decision. Vardy looked more like Tom Daley with that dive.

And because it’s Twitter, Arsenal fans were there:
Vardy dived to win a penalty at the Emirates as well. Scum.

Others made a brilliant points:
Leicester down to ten men. But it's eleven with Kante, anyway.

I think if Ashley Young were to do what Vardy just has, nobody would contest the yellow card.

Referee Jon Moss’ popularity wasn’t boosted when he gave West Ham a penalty:
Morgan bear-hugged Reid. Carroll penalty. 1-1. Been far worse holding offences both ends. Moss inconsistent at best.

But a second penalty earned Leicester a valuable point, leaving people questioning John Moss’ decisions:
Once spent a day with Jon Moss. He's a nice man and a very good head teacher. I'll leave it there

Maybe Jon Moss should reveal he's a die-hard fan of every single Premier League club…

What a game.
