Leicester City chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha has criticised the referee for Jamie Vardy's sending off at Stoke on Saturday and also the Football Association for rejecting the club's appeal yesterday.

In a statement released on the Thai billionaire's Instagram account, he said he was "sorry for the unfair judgement of the referee" and "more sorry that our appeal was rejected".

He continued by saying: "this kind of judgement distorts the charm" of English football and that the incident made him "feel dispirit from football."
