Leicester City punished Manchester United as two goals from Kelechi Iheanacho earned a 3-1 FA Cup quarter-final win at the King Power Stadium.
Iheanacho punished a howler from Fred and Harry Maguire to put Leicester ahead early on. Under little pressure, Maguire played a risky pass to Fred, who panicked and played a short backpass to Dean Henderson -and Iheanacho pounced to round the goalkeeper and calmly finish.
Though Mason Greenwood levelled for United to send them into the break level, Youri Tielemans restored Leicester’s lead not long into the second half before Iheanacho once again punished poor defending to add his second, and Leicester’s third, late on.
The result means Leicester will face Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals, with a potential final against either Chelsea or Manchester City on offer for the winners.
As for United, it was yet another case of cup disappointment for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players, who will now turn their attentions to fighting for a Premier League top-four finish and Europa League glory.
