Jamie Vardy had had a quiet afternoon before playing a major role in Leicester’s late draw
Leicester City came back twice to deny Manchester United an 11th straight away win in the Premier League on Saturday.
Axel Tuanzebe deflected a close-range effort from Jamie Vardy, who had had a quiet afternoon, into his own net in the 85th minute to keep the Foxes second in the table.
Bruno Fernandes had given United the lead with just over 10 minutes to go when he latched on to replace Edinson Cavani’s deep pass and passed Kasper Schmeichel.
Marcus Rashford opened the scoring when he reached the end of a Fernandes pass to slip in for his 50th goal in the top flight, before Harvey Barnes drew a good first-half tie.
The result at the King Power Stadium ended United’s 10-game winning streak in the league on the road, a distance from the record set by Chelsea in 2008.
Both teams maintained their pre-match position in the table, with Leicester three points behind leaders Liverpool and one points ahead of third-placed United.
