Leicester Fight Back To End Man Utd Long Unbeaten Away Run by MANNABBQGRILLS: 5:45pm On Oct 16, 2021
Leicester City increased the pressure on Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they ran out fully deserved winners in a thriller at King Power Stadium.

Manchester United at one stage threatened to steal a point from a dreadful performance but the Foxes rallied to secure their best win of an indifferent start to the season.

The defeat ends United's English league record 29-game unbeaten run away from home.

It all started so well for United when Mason Greenwood's brilliant long-range strike put them in front after 18 minutes but Leicester were level before half-time when the returning Harry Maguire, who had a nightmare afternoon, was robbed by Kelechi Iheanacho to set up Youri Tielemans for a sweeping finish.

Leicester City were vastly superior after the break and went ahead when Caglar Soyuncu sparked a flurry of late goals when he pounced in a goalmouth scramble with 12 minutes to go.

Marcus Rashford, back as a substitute after three months out following shoulder surgery, looked to have got United out of the hole when he ran on to Victor Lindelof's long ball to apply an emphatic finish four minutes later.

It was a sign of just how bad United were that they were behind again straight from the restart when Ayoze Perez pulled the ball back for Jamie Vardy to flash a finish high past David de Gea.

There was to be no comeback this time and Patson Daka bundled in at the far post for the fourth in stoppage time.

Foxes find form at last

It is inevitable that much focus will be placed on the failings of Manchester United and manager Solskjaer but Leicester deserve huge credit for a performance that saw them back to their best after a mixed start to the season.

The presence of Jonny Evans in defence provided reassurance and quality while Iheanacho tormented Maguire, who delivered a laboured and error-strewn display.

Leicester may have fallen behind to that Greenwood stunner but they never lost belief for a second and it was no surprise when Tielemans showed his quality with that clipped finish over De Gea into the far corner after Maguire inexplicably dawdled on the ball.

It gave Leicester real impetus and they dominated the second half, with only De Gea keeping the scoreline down as they swarmed over United.

Soyuncu put them back in front but it looked as though their excellence may not be rewarded with a win when Rashford crashed home a leveller.

Once again, Leicester showed resolve and quality to hit United again within seconds and that was that. They were not letting the lead slip this time.

United were on the ropes and Leicester kept them there as King Power Stadium rocked in celebration.

Daka's goal was the final decoration on an outstanding display, leaving manager Brendan Rodgers beaming after a spell when he was being asked questions of his own - ridiculous given the fact he brought the FA Cup to Leicester City last season.
He will hope this is lift-off for their season.

At the back, Man Utd are a shambles.
We have to be honest.
Watching them, they are a team full of world class players, but they aren't playing as a team.
When they get results, it is down to individual brilliance.


Meanwhile,
Ole has triumphed where many better managers have failed.
He's managed to find a way to stop Ronaldo scoring!
Sorry Man Utd Fans.

Quotes From Fans :
Can the Glazers give Ole a 5yr extension to his contract and another 1/2£billion to waste. The entertainment value is smazing.

Well, United were awful, but at least Pogba's hair looked nice today!
It’s not all doom & gloom for Ole.

Watford will need a new manager in a couple of weeks.

Ole needs more time..... at least another ten years, please!

Dreadful result for Manchester United.
Fantastic result for the Foxes and everyone else

Party dey King Power Stadium tonight.

As a United fan you ask yourself, what could be the problem, then you look at the starting line up and you say to yourself we've got qualities, you look at the bench say they could change game and give us the results. Then you continue thinking then you see the manager and you say 'oh it's Mr. Bean everything is a joke to him'.

I really don't see OLE survive this defeat. He might be sacked before next weekend because their fans could turn violent against OLE and their OWNERS. Conte could be his replacement.

Op, this is how to make an unbiased report of a match, without making the players look bad

Unlike 1 certain Ronaldo fan boy here named emmanuelscott
Argentina won against Peru, but na so Messi no show full his report, just to make him look bad

Someone that most likely did not watch the match
