Steve Cooper steered his team to a first away win of the season at Southampton but it was not without controversy
Alan Shearer says referee Anthony Taylor made a critical mistake in Leicester City’s 3-2 come-from-behind win at Southampton on Saturday.
Storm clouds appeared to be gathering when Steve Cooper’s team fell 2-0 behind at St Mary’s, in a match billed by some as key to the relegation battle.
However, the Foxes hit back in stunning fashion, as Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Vardy and Jordan Ayew struck to give City their second successive Premier League win. But before Vardy’s equaliser, from the penalty spot after he was pulled back by Ryan Fraser, Southampton had their own claim for a spot-kick.
With his side leading 2-1 Saints forward Paul Onuachu clearly had his shirt tugged by Ayew only for the incident to go unpunished. Wrongly so in Shearer’s opinion.
