Leicester keeper Schmeichel denied his goal

Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has been denied his goal scored against Yeovil Town on Saturday.

Schmeichel, son of former Manchester United keeper Peter, went forward for a corner in stoppage time in the Championship clash on Tuesday and headed against the underside of the crossbar.

Chris Wood followed up to make sure the ball had crossed the line but Schmeichel was initially credited with the goal with TV replays also showing that the Dane's thumping header had apparently bounced down across the goalline.

Despite the evidence, Leicester said on their website that the Football League had consulted with match officials on Wednesday and decided that the linesman had not raised his flag to indicate a goal.
