Kasper Schmeichel Leicester CityLeicester City goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel has accused referee Michael Oliver of trying to be a hero in their recent heavy loss vs Liverpool. Liverpool scored 4 unreplied goals at the King Power Stadium through a Roberto Firmino brace, alongside a James Milner penalty and a Trent Alexander-Arnold strike to wrap up a remarkable win. However, according to Kasper, the penalty-kick awarded to Liverpool was not deserved and the ref was only desperate to give it. He added that the decision which resulted in a goal made Leicester lose their composure. His words, "I think [the decision] was a bit tough," "We were in the game until the referee had to make himself a hero. Then we lost our composure. "[Former Premier League referee and current pundit] Dermot [Gallagher] will be on Sky saying it was a great decision. "Caglar had less than a millisecond to react. He is desperate to give it, once he does they are never going to turn it over." On Liverpool, β€œThey are the best side in the world along with Manchester City,” "We strive to be like Manchester City and Liverpool but they are a lot further along in their journey.” "They are a top side. It's theirs to lose isn't it?"
