Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City: 5 talking points

Anthony Martial scored the opening goal of the game

Leicester City’s coronation as Premier League champions was prolonged for at least another day after being held to a 1-1 draw by Champions League hopefuls Manchester United at the Old Trafford.

Wes Morgan cancelled out Anthony Martial’s opener but Leicester weren’t able to find the winner that would’ve sealed their highly-anticipated title triumph.

The draw leaves the door ajar for Tottenham Hotspur to trim the gap to 5 points, but they need to beat Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge tomorrow, something they haven’t ever done in the Premier League era.

Let’s discuss the major talking points from the game as the Foxes were made to wait for their title celebrations.

Teams fight tooth and nail to meet their targets

It was a tight affair at Old Trafford

Both Manchester United and Leicester City came into the fray with their sights firmly set on their respective objectives. Whilst the former are vying for a place in the next edition of Champions League, the latter were trying to seal the Premier League crown.

A win for the Red Devils would’ve been a huge boost to their European hopes, whereas a victory for the Foxes would’ve completed the most historic of title triumphs ever. With so much on the line, the teams naturally went hammer and tongs to meet their objectives and in return, produced a duel that had thrill written all over it.

Pace, guile, full-throttle attacks, cards, and also some tense moments, this game had all the ingredients to serve the entertainment hot.
