West Ham boss Slaven Bilic believes forward Andy Carroll should not face action from the Football Association for comments made following Sunday's controversial 2-2 draw with Leicester.

Leonardo Ulloa scored a stoppage-time penalty to earn Leicester a point after Carroll was adjudged to have fouled Jeffrey Schlupp.

The FA have since written to Carroll in relation to his comments, but Bilic feels they should take a lenient view.

"Andy said what he said; it was straight after the game. You are hot, you are disappointed because he was in that tackle where the referee gave the penalty," Bilic explained.

"But it wasn't anything major in that statement, so I don't see it as a big issue.

"It's normal for players or managers to say things like this after the game, so there's nothing in it for him to pick up a fine or whatever."
