Leicester City stunned Manchester United with two goals in the final 10 minutes to grab their first win at the King Power since the opening day of the season as the game finished 4-2.
It’s now three straight winless matches in the Premier League for Manchester United after a 4-2 loss to Leicester City in Matchday 8. The Red Devils’ 29-match away unbeaten streak was snapped by a Leicester team that thoroughly deserved the win.
Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford scored on his first appearance of the season, seemingly rescuing his team by equalizing at 2-2 eight minutes from time. But an explosive Leicester City scored a minute later through a sensational Jamie Vardy finish and then again in stoppage time to put the result away.

The pressure will surely mount on Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as the Red Devils’ season is slowly unraveling, while the other contenders in the Premier League go from strength to strength as Liverpool and Manchester City both won. Meanwhile, Leicester City continues its climb up the standings after a slow start and now sits just three points behind Manchester United in the standings.
“When we concede four, I probably made a couple of bad decisions,” Solskjaer said postgame. “Lately we have not been in great form. We’ve lost too many points. And that’s now something that we really have to look at it. You might have to change. Do we need more legs in there? What do we need? We’ve had a long soul-searching international break as well and we prepared really well for this. And unfortunately, it’s one of them again that we have to really analyze and see the decisions we have to make.”

Leicester came out with a 5-3-2 formation that outplayed Manchester United in every sector of the field. The five defenders contained Cristiano Ronaldo, the three midfielders played through the Man United midfield duo of Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, and the Leicester forward line ran circles around the Red Devils’ back line.
The first half was marked by two stunning goals. Leicester was beaten by an amazing Mason Greenwood solo effort that found the top left corner to open the scoring. But Youri Tielemans, who was the best player on the field, scored an even better goal for Leicester with a curling lob shot over Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea.
When Leicester took the lead on a far-post put-back in the 78th minute, it looked like it could be enough for the home side. But a surprise long ball over the top sprung Rashford for the momentary 2-2 equalizer before Leicester forwards Vardy and Patson Daka netted twice more before the final whistle.
