LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri avoided getting drawn into widespread criticism of referee Jon Moss after his side drew 2-2 with West Ham United on Sunday in a match of two awarded penalties, others not given and one red card.

Ranieri chose to focus on his team's "blood, heart and soul" after they equalised through a penalty from Leonardo Ulloa with virtually the last kick of the game.
