Leicester 0-1 Manchester United: Marcus Rashford strike moves Red Devils closer to top four
Marcus Rashford’s early strike was enough to earn a narrow 1-0 victory at Leicester, as Manchester United moved to within two points of fourth-place Chelsea.The striker, on his 100th Premier League appearance, atoned for a shocking miss moments earlier by rifling home following Paul Pogba’s excellent ball over the top in the 9th minute.5

Marcus Rashford can’t stop scoring

But the floodgates did not open and it was Leicester who enjoyed the game’s better opportunities, with David de Gea called into action on several occasions.Harry Maguire spurned a glorious chance in the final minute of the game, failing to replicate his last-gasp equaliser in this fixture last season.It was not vintage United, however they still earned a fifth consecutive away victory for the first time since the Sir Alex Ferguson era, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer maintains his unbeaten record as interim boss. Leicester, who remain 11th, paid the price for another slow start and they have won just four home games in the league this term.Despite a promising point at Liverpool, the Foxes struggled to make an impact and boss Claude Puel was jeered after taking off talisman James Maddison in the second half.Leicester had beaten United just once in their previous 21 meetings and Rashford sent an early warning after just four minutes.5

Solskjaer’s excellent start continues

Patient build-up ended with Luke Shaw’s teasing cross but the onrushing Rashford planted a header woefully over from four yards.But the England hitman, who became the youngest player to reach a century of top-flight appearances for United since Ryan Giggs in 1993, redeemed himself five minutes later with a clinical finish.It came from Ricardo Pereira gifting Pogba possession and the midfielder executed a glorious lofted pass to find Rashford, who buried a low shot past Kasper Schmeichel from 12 yards.5

Rashford missed a sitter moments before his goal

Leicester had been punished by another mistake in another slow start but it still needed Pogba’s excellence and Rashford’s efficiency.The Foxes tried to hit back instantly but Shaw thwarted Maddison.Leicester gradually grabbed a foothold as Alexis Sanchez, making his first league start in three months for United, struggled to make any inroads.5

Paul Pogba was outstanding once more

Maddison found space but was unable to conjure the telling pass while Jonny Evans glanced a corner off-target.Harvey Barnes curled wide just before the break and Rashford tested Schmeichel from distance but United’s fast start had faded.The Foxes emerged stronger after the break as Barnes flashed a ball across goal and Maddison hit the side-netting.5

Leicester had plenty of chances

United goalkeeper David De Gea had to make his first serious save after an hour when he gathered Jamie Vardy’s overhead kick at the second attempt after Maddison’s free-kick hit the wall.Maddison was then replaced by Rachid Ghezzal to cries of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ directed at Puel by the home fans.Despite improving, the Foxes were still flat, struggling to take the handbrake off and create clear openings against a United side who kept them at arm’s length. A set-piece looked Leicester’s best bet for an equaliser and De Gea was at full stretch to turn over Ghezzal’s 25-yard free kick with 14 minutes left.It roused the hosts and Evans mis-kicked six yards out but United chased a second and Romelu Lukaku forced Schmeichel into a low save.The Foxes remained in the hunt until the end, though, and Vardy’s tame effort was straight at De Gea before Schmeichel denied Anthony Martial.
