James Maddison poses for selfie with fan who broke through security onto pitch DURING Leicester’s Community Shield win over Manchester City at Wembley
Leicester star James Maddison bizarrely posed for a selfie with a pitch invader during his side’s Community Shield success against Manchester City at Wembley.
The Foxes prevailed with a 1-0 victory on Saturday, with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring a penalty late on.
During the game a fan somehow managed to evade security and get close to the pitch, with Maddison happy for a photo to be taken ahead of a set-piece.

The incident occurred before a set-piece was taken during the clash at Wembley on Saturday
Former Leicester striker Gary Lineker posted a video of the incident accompanied by the caption: ‘A mid game selfie with @Madders10, as you do.’
There were previously security concerns at Wembley during the Euro 2020 final between England and Italy last month, when some fans forced their way into the stadium without tickets.
Maddison played 71 minutes as Leicester secured more silverware.
The 24-year-old, who won the FA Cup with Leicester last season, has been linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.

Last season Maddison scored eight goals in 31 appearances in the Premier League, while he provided seven assists.
He will be aiming to get back into the England squad, having made one appearance for his country so far, which came against Montenegro in 2019.
