Foxes Defeated 😞 ｜ Leicester City 0 Man Utd 3

I'm quite settled yet, United, here with Garnaccio. It's good energy showed by El Canoes, and all the way back to the goalkeeper, O'Neill. It's a pretty steady start, isn't it? No real quality, nobody really getting a foothold in the game in these early stages. But, you know, Leicester have shown good tenacity, and winning a couple of those 50-50s. It's a good ball from El Canoes, and the lay-off from Dakar were just about fine indeed. Ball breaks through, now Vardy, buried down on goal! It was an improvised finish, and pushed away from the near post by Andre O'Nana. Yeah, strange save from O'Nana, if you ask me. Jimmy's had to stretch with the outside of his right foot to get that shot away. And that obviously takes a lot of the power out of the shot. Cody trying to make grounds, an early ball curled into the path of Jamie Vardy. Lindelof didn't win it, and O'Nana comes out of his penalty area with some half-hearted shouts of handball from around us. I'm not sure many of those were coming from the Leicester City players. The ball is in the hands of O'Nana, that'll be an interesting one if we get another look at it. Yeah, it was, you know, Connor Cody does well, sees the run of Vardy, tries to shout him in down the right-hand channel. It was Justin who did brilliantly. Head to the box now with Fernandes, back to Eriksen. Fished, oh, it's the post, it's off the top right! Away by Fass, and now Cody completes the clearance. It's the closest either side have come. Christian Eriksen with a partial driver that rattled the woodwork. Yeah, I'm from an angle as well, an acute angle as well, out in the corner. Again, trying to be clever, just get it under control and try and find the blue shirt. Here's Cody marauding forward, he's lost the ball, but Manchester United held up. And that's Hoard from Fernandes, it's found Hoyland through Soumare, rather Hoyland at the near post, across the face of goal and into the bottom corner. Rasmus Hoyland gives Manchester United the lead after 27 minutes at King Power Stadium. That's a goal-scoring duck broken, 21 Premier League games without a goal for Rasmus Hoyland. He's come down to Leicester, and finally got that monkey off his back. Well again, it's what a soft goal this is. Apart from this pass from Bruno Fernandes as top-drawer. But look at the gap between Bubu Soumare and Walt Fass. And Walt Fass doesn't come across, he just stands there. And Bubu Soumare's not out of the game, but he's 10 yards away. He's racing to get back, but Fass does nothing to help him. He has to get across and try and block that shot. And he's just able to stroll into the box, so you go and take him into that bottom left-hand corner. And now Hermansen. Floated up towards that halfway line, not enough on it, Dalot will nod this down. Soumare, meeting to play with Wilfred and Didi, now they're between the lines here, the Foxes, with El Canoes to the left-hand side for Christensen. Good ball towards Vardy, and then the back post! And Didi couldn't get there before Ugarte, who puts it behind for a corner. Great defending again from Ugarte. Wilfred and Didi just piling in at that back post, good cross this time. And a well-worked move initially from Didi to Soumare, finds its way out to the left-hand side, and Christensen. Won't touch from in, he delivers a good ball, and Didi's carried his run on, and he's in there at the back post, but Ugarte again with a crucial touch to get it away. For a corner. It's a great spot from Victor Christensen. Leicester have done well to pick that ball back up, and it was Christensen who won the ball back, and was able to play that square ball into Patsen Daka, but just didn't have a picture in his head there of what he was wanting to do. Dillicks, now Maseraui. It's Blocks, and it's picked up, Daka in the penalty area, smothered by Heaven! Will it break to El Canoes? It does, Heaven in the way again! Handball, scream, King Power Stadium! No decision from Thomas Bramwell, Leicester have picked it up on the halfway line. Good opportunity, the ball just falls to Daka, I think it's Jimmy Vardy who wins the initial duel, first time just lays it off to Daka, he's in on goal, gets his shot off, but it's well blocked. And then it falls to El Canoes, he hits it first time, but there's three, four Manchester United defenders in there, and get a big block again on that shot from El Canoes. Sorry, Gerry, Samara forward, Daka with the long-ranger! And that one will spin away from the target, and harmlessly out of play for a goal kick. Getting the wrong option, too far out there, on his weaker left foot. It's Maseraui's clearance that drops straight to Jimmy Vardy for that decent chance. It's Heaven with two blocks, he gets the first block on Daka. Then the second as well, that was the one... And then he gets up off the ground, El Canoes comes on to it. Delict to the halfway line where Hoyland has been dispossessed, and that was good work from Connor Coding, and here comes Bubakari Samara into the path of Jimmy Vardy, across the face of goal, Daka can't steer it home! Well, that's a bit better. Yeah, I think that's Heaven, is it, on the ground? It was Aiden Heaven. Really caught the eye in the first half, the Manchester United youngster. And he's done enough there. Samara, when he does this, when he breaks from midfield, he's unstoppable, and he plays a lovely ball into the path of Vardy down the inside left. Delo getting tight to him, back to Wout Vaes, and now into the centre circle for Samara, he flicks that off Fernandes, and Manchester United have won it back, it's three on three, Hoyland, edge of the penalty area, to his right, Garnaccio, can he sort his feet out? He can! And there's the second for Manchester United. Alejandro Garnaccio. Again, that's just guilty of giving away possession too cheaply. Oh, yeah, he's offside. It's very, very tight, though, isn't it, Gerry? Yeah, his right leg's a good six inches offside, and he sees that. Thomas will get it clear, but only as far as Masraoui, in a crossing position on the right-hand side for Manchester United. Step over in front of Christensen, corner box now, Garnaccio can't force his way past Thomas. Fernandes. Edge of the penalty area, Hermansen! This one looks like it'll stand from Garnaccio. Manchester United double their lead, Hermansen's got a hand to it, but it's fizzed through a crowd of bodies. And it's Alejandro Garnaccio to give Manchester United a two-goal cushion with 20 minutes left to play. Yeah, will there be no VAR on this one, will there? Again, Leicester just guilty of not getting close enough, not putting enough pressure on the ball. And it all started with that diagonal ball from Bruno Fernandes out here to the left-hand side, Dalot was allowed to run in to the edge of the box. No pressure on Fernandes, and you look at Man United, when Leicester win the ball back. And all this pressure on the ball, and Leicester having to play long. Hand-off from Jamie Vardy, left Lindelof on his rear end, and here is Vardy, pulls it across! What a nutter! It's been blocked by De Ligt. Glorious chance to get back into the game. But it's wonderful defending from Matthijs De Ligt, to throw himself in front of it. Yeah, he's got to bury that, though. He's got the whole of the right-hand side. He may have taken it on himself. No, again, I think to him he's done the right thing, though. Running that out. Probably should have scored. But other than that... Cross-field ball, drops to Diogo Dalot, Manchester United on the front foot, Steffi Mavidini's missed his tackle, Dalot pulls it back, Fernandes into the penalty area! 3-0. Game done and dusted. Manchester United... will head home with all three points. Leicester City heading for a seventh consecutive defeat here at home without scoring. A record-breaking seventh consecutive game. With tremendous defeats at King Power Stadium. Well, I did say if you give him enough time and space on the edge of the box, sooner or later he's going to hit the target, and it's going to end up in the back of the net, and that's exactly the scenario right there. All right. I mean, it's a great finish, but... It's exactly what you'd expect from Bruno Fernandes. Yeah. Towards the near post, away by Bruno Fernandes. Winks with a decent touch away from Harry Amat, and it's all the way through, Jamie Vardy! Away from the near post by Onana, drops to Ayew edge of the penalty area. Now Ndidi, low cross, Ayew gets a flick to it. Dropped to him again, Jordan Ayew. Just seeing a rerun of that chance for Vardy. Good solid strike.
