Here are 10 significant tweets following the hard-fought Leicester City draw with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League:
Leicester City managed to dig deep, finding the strength with 10-men to steal a point at Brighton & Hove Albion. James Maddison received a second yellow card and a dismissal after diving in the penalty box. He since apologized and will return wiser.
It is now time for our post-game Twitter roundup/review, which we do for every Premier League encounter, and matches of interest. These are the 10 funniest, most significant, entertaining and perceptive tweets about #BhaLei from the entire Twitter backlog:

A spirited second half display from 10-man Leicester earned a great away point at Brighton. Puel went with Okazaki but expect Vardy & Iheanacho against Watford.
Maddison will learn from his mistake, move on, & come back stronger 💪🦊#FoxesNeverQuit #BhaLei
Hopefully, James Maddison will return stronger, wiser – learning from his mistake. To the playmaker’s credit, he apologized – seemingly genuinely – for the error via social media.
"It’s just testament to all the boys and how close we are as a group." 💙#BhaLeihttps://t.co/2xr6YHZhew

Whilst in search of results, it is easy to forget the devastating, difficult circumstances the club endures at present. Jamie Vardy is correct: the display at the Amex Stadium does confirm a togetherness, physical toughness and mental strength.
I don't agree with people lumping Marc Albrighton into the Morgan and Okazaki category of player. He's worked himself into the ground today and still has enough quality and discipline to do an effective job for us. Done the job of two men since the red card. #LCFC #BhaLei

Matt is also spot on in his above tweet. In addition, Marc Albrighton is deserving of a starting place over Demarai Gray/the injured Rachid Ghezzal at the moment. However, Okazaki works hard but that simply is not enough at elite level. Many Blue Army faithful still believe that Wes Morgan’s constant inclusion is unjustifiable.
I don’t know where the goals will come from
— Sam (@SamPerkins2000) November 24, 2018
And Sam was also accurate: the goal did not come until the natural goalscorers – Kelechi Iheanacho and Vardy – entered the pitch.
Vardy absolutely saved us and changed the whole psychology of the team there @lcfc #lcfc #BhaLei I cannot understand why managers play one up front.
— James Guest (@theJEG) November 24, 2018
Substituting the former England striker into the game certainly changed the outlook and involvement of the Foxes. Expect it very likely the 31-year-old will start in the upcoming Premier League meeting with Watford, on December 1.
Claude Puel must have been kicking himself at half-time for beginning with one, not prolific forward, in Okazaki. The Japanese player is an affable, likable, former premiership champion, yet, if Leicester City’s aim for European qualification is realistic, certain team members are not particularly up to standard.
Embarrassing dive like that in the area, rightly sent off #BHALEI

Maddison will be embarrassed by the footage of his attempted cheating; however, he deserves another chance to impress, immensely talented as he is. Lesson learned – ideally.

Wonderfully, Leicester City are continuing Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha’s traditional, multiple season goodies giveaway. It was beanie hats in Brighton for the travelling support.
Next up for Leicester City is Southampton in the Carabao Cup Round of 16. Facing the almighty Manchester City in the quarter-finals is the prize of the Saints clash. That game kicks off at 7:45pm, Tuesday November 27.
