Check out this rarely seen event in Premier League football where a penalty goal is disallowed after the player touches the ball twice before scoring.
Leicester City’s Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take a penalty but slipped on approach and accidentally touched the ball twice before scoring.
Referee Robert Madley disallowed the goal and didn’t award a retake which left Leicester still trailing 2-1 to City. Watch here:

For all the grief everyone gives referees, that’s a superb spot from Bobby Madeley. Fair play.
