Manchester United vs Leicester City
Manchester United vs Leicester City
Great block by Morgan! Once again, Rojo finds himself in plenty of space deep down the left flank before cutting inside and finding Martial. The Frenchman takes a great first touch before trying to unleash a low shot from just inside the penalty area, but the Leicester captain is there to cut out the danger with a vital block. 73′ It doesn’t quite seem to be working for United, who are seeing plenty of the ball in advanced positions but are finding it difficult to do much with it. This time it’s Rojo who quickly breaks down the left flank and gets himself into a good area before swinging a cross into the middle of the box, but there’s nobody there to meet it and it’s dealt with by Fuchs as a result. 71′ Lovely play by Mahrez! Leicester break forward on a blisteringly quick counter-attack through Mahrez, who twists and turns on the edge of the United penalty area before unleashing a looping 20-yard shot. It looks as if it’s going to find the roof of the net, but De Gea does well to parry the strike away from goal with a two-fisted save. 69′ Mata battles his way down the right wing before Schlupp pokes the ball out for a corner. Blind steps up and curls a great cross straight on to the head of Fellaini, who once again is easily able to beat his marker in the air before sending a bullet header marginally wide of the Leicester goal. Both sides are finding plenty of joy from set-pieces, which will be a cause for concern for both managers.
