The 29-year-old made his long-awaited return against Leeds and thought he made an almost immediate impact in added time.
Maddison went down in the Leeds box following a challenge from Lukas Nmecha, but referee Jarred Gillett waved away his appeals.
VAR took a good look, but after a check, they decided to stick with the on-field decision and the game ended 1-1.
Maddison has now taken to Instagram to offer some clarity regarding the decision, saying: “For clarity... The small tiny touch on the ball to change direction came from the outside of my right foot not Nmecha and I told the ref that but the check was over in about 20 seconds.
“Officials are petrified to make decisions on pitch now because of VAR. We keep fighting. COYS.”
