Leicester captain Wes Morgan admitted his side's penalty should not have stood after he pushed Calum Chambers, says Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka

Middlesbrough head coach Aitor Karanka has claimed Leicester skipper Wes Morgan admitted one of Leicester's game-saving penalties should not have stood.

The Boro boss said Foxes captain Morgan conceded he fouled Calum Chambers, which forced the defender to handle in the area for the hosts' first spot kick in their 2-2 draw.

Islam Slimani also netted an injury-time penalty that saved the hosts' blushes after another poor Premier League performance on Saturday.

Alvaro Negredo scored twice - ending an 11-game drought - for the visitors who were seconds away from victory before Marten De Roon brought down Morgan for Leicester's second penalty.
