The only goal of the match was scored by 22-year-old Jadon Sancho in the 23rd minute after an ideal pass from Marcus Rashford, who bypassed the goalkeeper and ended up with an empty net. Star Cristiano Ronaldo took the field only in the 68th minute, when he replaced the scorer.
While Manchester have recovered from a bad start and can expect Sunday’s showdown with leaders Arsenal, Leicester have lost for the fourth time in a row and close the table with a point. His best chance today was destroyed by goalkeeper David de Gea, who eliminated a precise James Maddison shot from a free-kick.
