Maddison frustrated as Leicester draw at Leeds

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison was frustrated after their 1-1 draw at Leeds.

Jamie Vardy struck in the 80th minute via Maddison's pass before having a potential winner ruled out for offside.

Leeds winger Luis Sinisterra had opened the scoring in the first half with a header from Jack Harrison's cross.

Maddison said, "Probably not (a fair result). If you ask Leeds they will probably say the same. They scored when we were on top. Patrick Bamford should probably score but we dominated the second half. We created chances and probably could have won the game. It's important you don't lose though. We take the point away."

On manager Dean Smith's impact, he added: "It gives you a new lift and hunger. You don't lose that but it's a new man to impress. New messages and a new voice can sometimes help. The players are fighting. There are positives.

"I'm a more experienced player than I was when I joined. It's our responsibility to produce for our fans and our club.

"Jamie Vardy was born to score goals. When I saw it was him finishing it off I felt calm. We need to take the challenges and hopefully get the end goal."
