Leicester end Man Utd long unbeaten away run

Leicester City increased the pressure on Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as they ran out fully deserved winners in a 4-2 thriller at King Power Stadium.

Manchester United at one stage threatened to steal a point from a dreadful performance but the Foxes rallied to secure their best win of an indifferent start to the season.

The defeat ends United’s English league record 29-game unbeaten run away from home.

United have lost and drawn at home to Aston Villa and Everton in their past two league games at Old Trafford and only a last-gasp winner from Ronaldo saved them against Villarreal in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah set up Sadio Mane’s 100th Premier League goal and scored a brilliant goal of his own, while Roberto Firmino bagged a hat-trick as Liverpool reclaimed top spot with a 5-0 win over Watford in Claudio Ranieri’s first game in charge.

Other results saw Wolves grabbing a last-gasp win at Villa in a derby thriller that ended 3-2 while Bernando Silva and Kevin De Bruyne led Manchester City past Burnley with a 2-0 victory.

Norwich remain winless after a goalless draw with Brighton while Armando Broja gave Southampton their first win with a 1-0 victory over Leeds United.

In the last game of the day, Chelsea secured a slim 1-0 victory over Brentford to move to top of the table on 19 points.
