'Scandalous': Fans react to James Maddison's 'terrible' penalty against Everton, striking the ball straight at Jordan Pickford... as some question why Jamie Vardy didn't take the spot-kick

James Maddison missed a penalty during Leicester's game against Everton on Monday night, with many fans taking to Twitter to question why Jamie Vardy did not take the spot-kick instead.

With both sides in danger of relegation, they threw the kitchen sink at eachother throught what was an enthralling game of football at the King Power Stadium, with the Toffees taking the lead inside 15 minutes with Dominic Calvert-Lewin scoring from the spot.

Caglar Soyuncu would level the scores just seven minutes later, poking home a lose ball inside the Everton penalty area, before Vardy took advantage of a loose pass from Alex Iwobi, striding past Jordan Pickford and found the back of the net to make it 2-1.
