Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure felt for Riyad Mahrez after his spotkick howler for Leicester City.

At 2-1, Leicester were awarded a penalty when Riyad Mahrez was tripped inside the box.

The Algerian scored the resulting spot kick, but it was ruled out after he was adjudged to have made contact with the ball twice.

Toure says it would have been very harsh on City, who were dominant for long periods, if they had failed to come away with all three points.

"I was right behind him and you could see him slip," he said. “You are unlucky sometimes.

“I was delighted for us as I thought it would be harsh. To win the game was very important."
