The Super Sunday panel felt Leicester were fortunate not to have a penalty awarded against them at Old Trafford.

Danny Drinkwater was issued a second yellow card and dismissed after a foul on Memphis Depay in the 86th minute of the Premier League clash at Old Trafford, with replays suggesting the challenge took place inside the box.

Referee Michael Oliver, however, awarded Manchester United a free-kick and Leicester eventually held on to the 1-1 draw that inches them closer to the title.

Leicester had fallen behind to Anthony Martial's early goal, but soon equalised via Wes Morgan's header from Drinkwater's free-kick.

The Foxes now need just two more points from their remaining two games to guarantee the title, although they could win it on Monday night if Tottenham fail to win at Chelsea.

Should Spurs triumph, the Foxes could then secure the league crown at home against Everton next week, but will have to make do without Drinkwater following his dismissal that led to a one-game ban.
