    Great decision by the ref. But I think the rule is absurd.

    Why? You can't play the ball twice, so if it comes off a post the taker can't hit it again, and it means he also can't dribble it.

    What would be absurd is if we had those rules but an exception for when players slip.

    Mahrez got unlucky, and the rule seems weighted in favour of the keeper.
    But that's all about advantage. If the keeper moves but the ball goes in then it's not a retake for obvious reasons.
