'Booking was the right decision for Mane foul' - Maguire

Harry Maguire insists he did not deserve to be sent off for a challenge on Sadio Mane before scoring Leicester City's equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Maguire brought Mane down when the Liverpool winger was running in behind the Leicester backline during Wednesday's game at Anfield, but referee Martin Atkinson opted to only show the defender a yellow card.

England international Maguire then went on to cancel out an opening goal scored by Mane, with Liverpool missing the chance to move seven points clear of Manchester City, who suffered a shock loss at Newcastle United on Tuesday.
