Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri is still disappointed after the Foxes failed to overturn Jamie Vardy's red card against Stoke.

A disciplinary panel upheld referee Craig Pawson's decision to dismiss Vardy for a two-footed tackle on Mame Biram Diouf, ruling out the striker for City's next three games.

He said: "All in England, all the world watch the foul and say it's not a foul.

"We made an appeal because we believe in something right and we are very disappointed in the result, because when we make a mistake, or when my players make a mistake, we don't appeal. But that wasn't a foul.

"There is a big fight between Glen Johnson and Vardy. Johnson pushes a little more, Vardy loses his body control, and when he arrives he touches the ball. He touched the ball. That's it.

"I am, and all our club is, very surprised. I'm not angry. I'm very sad for the football."
