Kasper Schmeichel: Leicester City keeper 'not sure' of Kelechi Iheanacho penalty vs Manchester City

The experienced goalkeeper felt for his opposite number but targets more silverware for the Foxes this season

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel says he is not sure whether the referee was right to hand his team a penalty, which Kelechi Iheanacho converted, in Saturday's Community Shield win over Manchester City.

Dutchman Nathan Ake was robbed of the ball by the Super Eagle, and he ended up fouling the attacker in the danger zone. Referee Paul Tierney opted to play the advantage, but Zack Steffen pulled a fantastic save to deny Patson Daka.

However, the referee blew his whistle and pointed to the spot where the Nigeria forward rose to the occasion and scored the winner to earn his team their first silverware of the new campaign.
