LONDON: Leicester City came back twice to end Manchester United’s away winning streak in the Premier League with a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
A Jamie Vardy shot which deflected off United defender Axel Tuanzebe, five minutes from the end, secured a point for Brendan Rodgers’ side after Bruno Fernandes appeared to have secured another victory on the road for United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side, who had won their last 10 away games in the Premier League, stay third on 27 points, a point behind second-placed Leicester.
Marcus Rashford had missed a wide-open header but put United ahead in the 23rd minute with a cool finish after being slipped in by Fernandes before Harvey Barnes equalised eight minutes later with a fine shot from the edge of the box.
But the influential Fernandes restored United’s lead in the 79th minute, drilling into the bottom corner after being found inside the area by substitute Edinson Cavani.
Again though, the lead was short-lived as Vardy’s first time shot on the half-turn from a low cross from Ayoze Perez, went in off Tuanzebe and earned a point for the Foxes.
