Brighton & Hove boss Chris Hughton has no complaints about the penalty conceded by his side in their 1-1 draw with Leicester City in a Premier League tie at the American Express Community Stadium on Saturday evening.
Referee Kavanagh pointed to the spot after a poor challenge from Beram Kayal on Iheanacho, and Jamie Vardy stepped up to score the resultant spot kick to restore parity in the 79th minute.
The Nigeria international had come off the bench in the 70th minute before winning the penalty for his side.
Speaking post-match, Hughton told reporters : ''I’ve no issues with the penalty, when you go to ground, you’re opening yourself up (to be penalised).
''I haven’t seen the sending off again. The only thing I did see: there wasn’t a great reaction to it, which says to me that it was the right decision.''

Three Nigeria internationals, Leon Balogun, Wilfred Ndidi and Iheanacho, were named in the match day squad but the defender was not utilized off the bench for the tenth successive match in the topflight.
