Leicester Get The Power


Leicester City produced a remarkable performance at King Power Stadium to overwhelm Manchester United 4-2; in a game that could kick-start their erstwhile stuttering campaign. On a glorious summer afternoon; they produced their best performance to stun Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's championship contenders.

Not for the first time; Solksjaer's men seemed to lack an identity; not sure what they were going to become. And it could be said that Mason Greenwood's tremendous long-range strike only served to camouflage the edges.

Harry Maguire has made mistakes in his life; and again he dithered to allow the hardworking Kelechi Iheanacho to rob him and tee up the impressive Youri Tielemans for an iconic clipped finish.

Things turned from bad to worse for United; as another failure at a set-piece allowed Turkish star Caglar Soyuncu to score from close range. It wasn't over yet though; as Victor Lindelof's long ball somehow evaded the Leicester defence to find substitute Marcus Rashford to score home.

Before things had settled though; it was Leicester substitute Ayoze Perez who found space on the United right; to set up Jamie Vardy for an instinctive finish. There was even time for another substitute Patson Daka to bundle home from close range; as United's defensive structure became even more of a shambles.
