Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez slipped as he struck his penalty and accidentally kicked it twice before the ball hit the netRiyad Mahrez's disallowed penalty allowed Manchester City to take a significant step towards Champions League qualification with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City on Saturday. The oddest moment of the match, though, came in a scrappy second half, when Mahrez slipped as he converted a penalty that would have made it 2-2 and touched the ball twice. City looked set for a comfortable victory at that stage, but Leicester responded with an outstanding goal shortly before half-time. Madley awarded Leicester a penalty after Clichy, in a blind panic, hacked down Mahrez after the winger had twisted past him. Mahrez stepped up for the penalty, but slipped as he did so, touching the ball twice -- in breach of the rules -- before his shot beat Willy Caballero.
