Leicester scored twice late on to win an enthralling Premier League encounter against Manchester United at King Power Stadium.

Substitute Marcus Rashford looked to have extended the visitors' unbeaten away record to 30 top-flight games with an emphatic equaliser on his return from injury.

However, Vardy scored 54 seconds later from Ayoze Perez's cross and Patson Daka added a fourth with a header in stoppage time.

Mason Greenwood had given United an early lead but the Foxes hit back with goals from Youri Tielemans and Caglar Soyuncu before the dramatic conclusion.

Afterwards, Vardy declared: "It was massively important. The most important thing was the performance because we had let our standards slip but we had the international break to reflect on things.

"We let him [Mason Greenwood] come inside way to easy onto his favoured foot and he put it right into the top corner. There were no complaints but I think you saw the reaction of the lads.

"We put a three in midfield and it gives him [Youri Tielemans] a bit more freedom [to get forward].

"It is brilliant for him [Patson Daka]. He has been working so hard in training. I am over the moon for him and I'm sure there are plenty more to come from Patson. Hopefully that will start pushing us forward in the table."
