Ten-man Leicester City deal another blow to Manchester United’s title hopes with injury time equaliser

by

LEICESTER CITY 2, MANCHESTER UNITED 2

Manchester United conceded another injury time goal which cost them dearly in the space of days when Harry Maguire scored a 93rd minute equaliser at the King Power Stadium for ten-man Leicester City.

Daniel Amarty had lasted just 16 minutes after coming on as a second half sub for the Foxes before being sent off for a second booking leaving a mountain to climb for the home side.

The Reds wasted chance after chance to put the Foxes away and thought that a Juan Mata double had snatched the points after Jamie Vardy had opened the scoring early on for Claude Puel’s side.

The draw left Manchester City, who won 4-0 earlier at the Etihad against Bournemouth, an unprecedented 13 points ahead by Christmas with only 19 games to go until the end of the season – a record in top flight history.

Claudio Bravo the penalty hero again as Manchester City see off Leicester City in the Carabao Cup

LEICESTER CITY 1, MANCHESTER CITY 1 (Manchester City win 4-3 on penalties)

Manchester City made it into the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup after winning a penalty shoot-out at Leicester City with goalkeeper Claudio Bravo once again the hero.

Bravo sprinted over to the Man City fans to celebrate after saving Riyad Mahrez’ penalty in the shoot-out at the end of another 120 minute drama to keep the Blues in the hunt for trophies on four fronts.

City had been denied in normal time after Jamie Vardy’s spot kick in the seventh minute of eight added minutes at the end of normal time after Kyle Walker had been penalised for a soft foul on Demarai Gray.

All three senior Foxes players had been left out of the starting line-up and Leicester failed to punish a weakened City side in Extra Time with them on the pitch.

City academy product Lukas Nmecha kept his nerve to score one of the shoot-out penalties but Vardy went on to hit his shoot-out spot kick against the post before Mahrez was denied by the Chilean keeper to spark another celebration for the travelling fans.
