Manchester United will play in the Champions League next season after they saw off Leicester at the King Power.
The Red Devils knew that a point would've been enough to secure a place in the top four but left with all three.
United were actually second best for large periods but Bruno Fernandes' penalty proved to be the difference.
The Portuguese star had one of his worst games in a red shirt, but was able to convert after Anthony Martial was scythed down.
And Jesse Lingard made sure of the victory with a late goal.
Here are how the players rated...
Player ratings
LEICESTER CITY
Schmeichel 6
No chance with the penalty and pretty faultless all round
Justin 6
Guilty of one howler but certainly left his mark on Fernandes
Morgan 5
Caught out a couple of times and struggled with United’s pace
Evans 5
Punished for the penalty although claimed he got a faint touch later sent-off
Thomas 6
Looked a touch nervous in the early stages but acquitted himself well
Albrighton 6
Snatched at one half-chance but provided a good outlet on the right
Tielemans 6
Influential operator doing all his best work at close quarters
Ndidi 7
All over the field but did waste oner very good opportunity
Choudhury 5
Caught in possession for the move that led to United’s penalty
Iheanacho 6
Dithered more than once when presented with good options
Vardy 7
Never gave defenders a moment’s peace but no clear chances
SUBS
Ayoze Perez (Iheanacho 58mins) 6
Gray (Albrighton 73 mins)

MANCHESTER UNITED
De Gea 6
No costly bloopers this time but not exactly exuding confidence
Wan-Bissaka 6
Did his defensive duties pretty impeccably and useful going forward
Maguire 5
Early booking meant he had to tread carefully but pretty solid
Lindelof 7
Made a sequence of important blocks and enjoyed his battle with Vardy
Williams 6
Loves a sliding tackle and bombed up the flank to good effect
Pogba 6
Misplaced passes and threatening runs, a mixed bag to say the least
Fernandes 8
Played the pass that drew the penalty and converted it. Class
Matic 6
Landed himself a new deal and lucky to do so on this evidence
Rashford 6
A fitful contribution notable only for one particularly clumsy miss
Martial 7
Not his clinical self but still the most dangerous United attacker
Greenwood 6
Starved of the half-chances he thrives on, a peripheral figure
SUBS
Lingard (Greenwood 77 mins)
REFEREE: Martin Atkinson
