‘We didn’t have luck on our side’ – Leicester City’s Rodgers rues Ndidi and Lookman’s disallowed goals

The African stars found the back of the net in the second-half, but their efforts did not count after VAR reviews

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said his team were unlucky after they had two goals disallowed in their 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Ademola Lookman and Wilfred Ndidi found the back of the net in the 67th and 85th minutes respectively, but they were denied for offside after referee Stuart Attwell checked the VAR on both occasions.

Leicester City were trailing 2-1 when Lookman slotted home off Ryan Bertrand's corner-kick but it was ruled out because Harvey Barnes was in an offside position.
