In the final 45 minutes, the two teams slowed the pace a little and the game was balanced, but Leicester managed to turn the match around at 33. After a corner kick in the area, Soyuncu took advantage of the ball in the area to hit the net and put the owners of the house in front.
You Red Devils they didn’t give up, went on the attack and tied the game again four minutes later. Rashford received a shot from Lindelof, ran free and crashed into Schmeichel’s exit to score United’s second. However, on Leicester’s ball, Ayoze Pérez advanced on the right and passed behind for Vardy to finish first and score Leicester’s third.
