Events

Match Events

  • 0' Packed stands, loud atmosphere — Leicester City FC and Manchester United FC get this one started.
  • 5' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 10' Manchester United FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 15' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 19' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Mason Greenwood makes no mistake. 0-1!
  • 24' Manchester United FC have won 678 goals from 411 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 29' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 31' A goal from the Belgium international Youri Tielemans! He fires home on 31 to make it 1-1!
  • 36' Over 36 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 41' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 46' Jonny Evans has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 51' Leicester City FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 51.
  • 52' Victor Nilsson-Lindelof is having his name booked by the referee on 52.
  • 57' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 57 minutes.
  • 62' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 65' Another change for Manchester United FC made on 65 minute. Jadon Sancho leaves to be changed by Marcus Rashford.
  • 70' Caglar Soyuncu has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 2 cards already picked up this season.
  • 73' Ayoze Perez is ready to make an impact after coming on for James Maddison at the 73 minute mark.
  • 77' Leicester City FC make a change. Kelechi Iheanacho trudges off to be replaced by Patson Daka on 77 minutes.
  • 78' Caglar Soyuncu doubles the advantage! 2-1 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
  • 79' Assisted by Ayoze Perez with the perfectly-timed delivery and Caglar Soyuncu makes no mistake. 3-1!
  • 80' Scott McTominay gets the nod from Manchester United FC. He replaces Nemanja Matic and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 82' A stunning finish from Marcus Rashford — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 83' What a moment for Jamie Vardy! That strike on 83 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 85' Aaron Wan-Bissaka picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • 86' Paul Pogba catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 86.
  • 88' Jannik Vestergaard is replacing Jonny Evans for the Leicester City FC side.
  • Both sets of fans can go home satisfied — a 4-2 draw is a fair result on the day.
