Leicester City twice came back from a goal down to end Manchester United's away winning streak in the Premier League with a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

A Jamie Vardy shot which deflected off United defender Axel Tuanzebe five minutes from the end secured a point for Brendan Rodgers' side after Bruno Fernandes appeared to have secured another victory on the road for United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, who had won their last ten away games in the Premier League, stay third on 27 points, a point behind second-placed Leicester.

Jurgen Klopp says he won't force Mohamed Salah to stay at Liverpool

Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba and 21 transfers on the cards for January 2021

Liverpool are top of the standings on 31 points and have a chance to extend their lead when they face West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford missed a glorious chance to open the scoring after just two minutes but managed to head over the bar from a few metres out.

But the attacker atoned for his miss by putting United ahead in the 23rd minute with a cool finish after being slipped in by Fernandes, only for Harvey Barnes to level the scores eight minutes later with a fine strike from the edge of the box.

Rashford had a great chance to put United back in front on the hour but Kasper Schmeichel produced an excellent one-handed save to keep out the well-struck drive.

Two minutes later Anthony Martial had an effort disallowed for offside but the influential Fernandes restored United's lead in the 79th minute, scuffing home into the bottom corner after being found inside the area by substitute Edinson Cavani.

Again though, the lead was short-lived as Vardy's first time shot on the half-turn from a low cross from Ayoze Perez, went in off Tuanzebe and earned a point for the Foxes.

"Disappointed we didn't win today because we had loads of big chances and we could've finished it off but they're a dangerous side," said Solskjaer.

"Both goals should've been closed down quicker – the first one definitely and the second one we should manage to stop the cross. You always look at goals conceded, what we should've or could've done better."

Foxes manager Rodgers said: "I thought it was a good game – two attacking teams and I thought we had lots of really good play. Our defending and counter pressing was very good you have to do that against teams like Man United they break so fast."
