- Leicester 2-2 Manchester United (1-1)
Only four teams in the history of the Premier League have managed to win ten games in a row.
On Boxing Day this afternoon, Manchester United had a chance to claim their 11th consecutive Premier League victory, thus taking the record. They did not succeed.
Jamie Vardy tied just before the end and thus the match ends with shared points. Leicester thus stops Manchester United’s opportunity to take the record.
– Disappointed that we don’t win. We have a lot of great chances and we could have established them, but Leicester are a very dangerous team. One point is not the worst result, but we are disappointed that we did not get three, Solskjær told BT Sports after the match.
– That’s a point we deserved. It’s about having patience and being in a position to get the ball into the goal. “I think we played very well against a good team,” Jamie Vardy told BT Sports after the game.
In hindsight, the Premier League has chosen to turn Vardy’s goal into an own goal by Axel Tuanzebe.
Barnes-perle
It is scheduled for Saint Stephen’s Day and the day of the football festival in England. Manchester United and Leicester were the two teams that were going to settle for the first point of Christmas.
Marcus Rashford had a great opportunity to give Manchester United a dream start on Christmas Eve when he headed the ball just over the goal.
– I should say Rashford, it’s a solid opportunity, said TV 2 commentator Nils Johan Semb.
But Rashford had to make up for the mistake, because in the 20th minute he scored the first Boxing Day goal this year and put United in the lead. In the cold, he put the ball into the goal passing Kasper Schmeichel after being assisted by Bruno Fernandes.

Solskjær’s men still had a short lead, as 10 minutes later Harvey Barnes leveled for the hosts with a wonderful long shot. 1-1, and that was also the result at halftime.

Manchester United also started the second half well, pushing Leicester.
Rashford had a great opportunity midway through the second half, but Schmeichel in the Leicester cage saved masterfully. But the score was yet to come. Because Bruno Fernandes scored what many thought would be the winning goal ten minutes before the end, after being wonderfully assisted by Edinson Cavani.
But Leicester was not finished either. Right before the end, Jamie Vardy appeared so many times before and tied for the hosts. It was the last goal of the settlement and the match ends 2-2. In hindsight, the Premier League has chosen to turn Vardy’s goal into an own goal by Axel Tuanzebe.
Manchester United, therefore, does not have a chance to cheer on a record.
