Leicester knock Man Utd out of FA Cup

Kelechi Iheanacho celebrating his goal against Manchester United

Leicester City progressed to the semi-finals of the Emirates FA Cup following their 3-1 victory over Manchester United at the King Power Stadium on Sunday evening.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made five changes from their win over AC Milan as Bruno Fernandes and Luke Shaw were rested whilst Marcus Rashford was missing through injury. 

The game went into the half time break with the scoreline level at 1-1 after Greenwood cancelled out Iheanacho's 25th minute opener.

Leicester restored their lead early in the second half as Youri Tielemans played an easy one-two around Matic before the Belgian continued his run towards the United box before drilling a very astute finish right into the bottom corner. 

United had a chance to equalise in the 58th minute but Telles' spectacular from 30 yards sailed wide of goal as Schmeichel watched it past the post before Vardy failed to bypass Henderson with 12 yards out in a one-on-one situation.

Solskjaer opted to bring on four substitutions in the 65th minute as Fernandes, Cavani, McTominay and Shaw came on to replace Van De Beek, Pogba, Matic and Telles, respectively. 

The Tigers then extended their lead even further in the 79th minute when Marc Albrighton's free-kick found Iheanacho unmarked at the back post for the Nigerian to nod the ball home.
