Teenage fullback, Luke Thomas opened the scoring for Leicester City in the 10th minute against a weakened Manchester United side to which manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made 10 changes from their weekend defeat of Aston Villa. Two of Manchester United’s teen sensations combined as 18 year old Amad Diallo set up 19 year old Mason Greenwood to draw the home side level just 5 minutes later. Turkish center half, Caglar Soyuncu had the final say however, with his 66th minute effort deciding the tie for the Foxes. It was however Nigeria’s midfield destroyer, Wilfred Ndidi who picked up the accolades for his display in the middle of the park for Leicester City. The midfielder won the most tackles and duels, made the most interceptions and also made the most recoveries in the game for the Foxes as he laid the foundation for a huge win for their Champions League aspirations.
