Jamie Vardy has denied Manchester United an 11th straight away win and the chance to leapfrog Leicester into second.
The Foxes were heading for a fifth home loss of the 2020/21 season when Bruno Fernandes gave the visitors a 2-1 win lead late in the second half until Vardy popped up for his 13th Premier League goal of the season.
According to report, in top-flight history, only two sides have ever won 11 in a row on the road – Chelsea between April-December 2008 and Manchester City between May-December 2017 – and United were closing in until Vardy struck.
Marcus Rashford scored his 50th Premier League goal for Man United.
Rashford, who missed a sitter early in the game, made no mistake when he tucked away a Fernandes pass to give United the lead.
At 23 years and 56 days old, the striker became the third-youngest United player to score 50 Premier League goals, joining Wayne Rooney (22 years and 157 days old) and Cristiano Ronaldo (22 years 341 days old.)
All be it, in what was an entertaining Boxing Day clash, Harvey Barnes levelled things.
