Earlier today, Leicester City scored four goals past Manchester United to ensure a much needed win. This is Leicester’s third win of the season, they haven’t had the best of starts compared to recent campaigns. Manchester United fans and players will be disappointed after dropping points for the third game in a row. The Red Devils currently sit in 5th place whilst the Foxes are in 11th.

The start of the match was very even, with both sides challenging the opposition’s net. The deadlock was broken by local Mancunian Mason Greenwood in the 19th minute from a wonderful shot outside the box. The 20-year old has shown up multiple times so far, with this goal already being his fourth of the season.  After conceding, Leicester started performing much better in search for an equalizer. Leicester’s first goal came in the 31st minute from an insane Youri Tielemans chip that shocked many. The first half ended how it started, with both teams searching for a lead.

The second half was more entertaining than the first with there being four goals. Three of the four goals were scored in a space of 5 minutes, with the first goal coming in the 78th minute from a Çağlar Söyüncü rebound. Manchester United’s equalizer came in the 82nd minute from a clean finish from dynamic attacker Marcus Rashford. Leicester’s goal came only a minute after, from a Jamie Vardy goal that came from their kickoff. Leicester confirmed their win in the 91st minute when new signing Patson Daka placed the ball in the back of the net quite easily.

This is Manchester United’s first away loss since January 2020, an incredible run that unfortunately came to an end. Manchester United will be hoping for a better performance against Italian side Atalanta whilst Leicester’s next match is an away trip to Moscow to face Spartak Moscow.
