Riyad 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.
All of the goals came in the first half at the Etihad Stadium, with David Silva's opener for the home side allowed to stand despite a strong suggestion of offside.
Gabriel Jesus's penalty increased their lead, before Shinji Okazaki pulled one back with a spectacular volley.
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.
According to the laws of the game, a penalty taker cannot touch the ball again until another player has done so.
