After the final whistle, Madison caught Thomas checking his phone, claiming he was watching the public’s reaction to his performance against Mohamed Salah, who missed a penalty.
The midfielder told him: “Stop checking what everyone else is saying about your performance versus advice, bro.”
Thomas produced an amazing performance as he limited the Premier League’s top scorer and closed Liverpool’s biggest threat as a result.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers praised the home ace and claimed that “nothing surprised him”.
Rodgers said: “He’s been incredible. He’s 20 years old and he’s someone who hasn’t played so many first-team games.
“The FA Cup Final was his first game in front of supporters.

“Nothing bothers him. He has done really well against [Riyad] Mahrez [on Sunday], and was not beaten so often tonight.
“He’s a really good defender, tough and never gives up.”
Leicester are now ninth in the Premier League table, three points away from seventh place, which usually leads to European qualification.
Liverpool, on the other hand, suffered only their second league defeat of the season and are second with six points that separate them from high-flyers Manchester City.
