Mahrez had slipped just as he made contact but still managed to beat Willy Caballero in the City goal.
2-2? Nope!
Referee Bobby Madley blew the whistle and flashed what appeared to be a peace sign but harmony was not what he was after.
He was signalling that the ball had been touched twice by Mahrez, meaning that the goal would not be allowed to stand.
It was an incredible spot by Madley and one that was definitely the correct call, although not everybody was pleased with the rule's existence.

A clear stickler for the rules, Madley absolutely nailed the decision but the fact that he was so insistent on following the letter of the law so meticulously resulted in a similar joke doing the rounds on social media.
And some of them were pretty damn funny.
