Don't think that's a foul at all. Over reaching and barely had any pressure on the ball. Wasn't under control
 
Haway you can’t rule that out
The FA rule below does include a hand and the ground so it's a 'debatable' decision. Would Schmiechel have lost control of the ball if nobody challenged it? I don't think so as he had his hand on the top of ball so right decision I suppose.

A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball with the hand(s) when: the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save.
 
Does one hand on the ball count as under control these days?

Looks like that's the rule, there's not really much the ref can do about that. The fact he was told to go over that quickly and then he only needed one or two looks at it suggest it is the rule.

Yip it's still harsh but can see why they've come to that decision.
 
Been all over them but not punished them (as always) and end up being lucky to be level at half time.

Can't stand hearing Steven Gerrard's name being mentioned again. Why is it that both him and Lampard are revered as some managerial geniuses? It's as if Sky are worried we might forget he is their manager unless it's mentioned every 2 minutes.

Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa 1-1 Leicester.

It's not a goal if the above is correct
