Leicester City's Jamie Vardy reacts after scoring a stunning volley against Manchester United.

Leicester City clashed off against Manchester United having kept just one clean sheet in the last 13 PL  matches and nothing was about to change. In the 19th min United wonderboy Mason Greenwood gave the Red Devils the lead with an 18 yard shot drilled from his magical left foot.

United goal seemed to be the Foxes wake-up call as they responded in the 30th min when United Centre Back Harry Maguire attempted to play out the back but the former Leicester man failed to recognize Kelechi Iheanachos presence and the Nigerian scooped the ball setting up Belgian Youri Tielemans to curl in a pitch perfect shot into the top corner.

The first change of the game was made by Ole in the 65th min as Jadon Sancho came off for United's Academy old boy and MBE Marcus Rashford. Dr  Rashford's maiden return was expected to ignite United's attack but it was Leicesters attacking prowess that gained momentum and Brendan Rodgers men took the lead causing United to suffer yet another goal conceeded via set-piece as Söyüncü slotted the ball home from 3 yards out. 

United caught the Leicester defence napping as the Foxes strived to maintain their grip on the lead. A precise long ball over the Leicester midfield by Victor Lindelof found Marcus Rashford as his timed run allowed him to send a ferocious ball past Kasper Shmeichel to silence the King Power Stadium for a moment. More drama unfolded as moments later Foxes potent poacher Jamie Vardy was lurking in the penalty area and his half volley swooshed past David De Gea to give Leicester the lead yet again to cap off a hectic five mins.

There was still more time as Leicester substitute and Zambian forward Patson Daka scored his first Premier League goal to silence the doubters and kill any hope of a United comeback.

The result leaves Oles men lurking in 5th place while the Foxes, who hadn't won thrice in a row against the Red Devils in all competitions in a spun of 120 years climb to 11th place having amassed 11 points so far.
