LEICESTER.

15 goals in Premier League and 20 total in the Manchester United-shirt.

Today Zlatan scored again when United comfortably beat last season's champions Leicester 3-0 away.

They are now only two points off top 4.

 

TWO LATE GOALS BY UNITED - ZLATAN'S 15TH

The first half was quite even, though United played better and better and gradually came closer to a goal. And in the last minutes they scored two. First Mkhitaryan ran through with amazing pace in the 42nd minute and shot it passed Schmeichel, 1-0 to Manchester United. And only two minutes later Valencia served Zlatan with a low pass into the box and Zlatan put a low wellplaced shot in the back of the net. 1-0 to Manchester United at halftime.

 

ANOTHER GOAL DIRECTLY AFTER THE BREAK

Man Utd didn't take the foot the gas pedal after the halftime break. They kept attacking and in the 49th minute Mkhitaryan displayed his greatness once again. He got the ball from Mata and delivered a great through pass to the small Spaniard, who could have given it to Zlatan for a tap in, but smashed it in the back of the net instead. 1-0 to Manchester United.

 

A WALK IN THE PARK IN THE SECOND

Being three goals up, United showed no sign of letting the game slip in the second half. They kept the ball nicely and counterattacked when Leicester pushed forward. Mata should have scored but his chip was too weak and Schmeichel saved it easily. In the end there was no question, United won comfortably and brought home three important points. 1-0 to Manchester United at fulltime.

ZLATAN.

Started the game and played ok in the first half, without being involved in alot of action in the last third. He played better and better though, as did the entire United-team.

 

And his key moment came in the 44th minute when he scored his 15th Premier League-goal of the season.

 

He lurked around in the box just after Mkhitaryan had scored the first goal, Valencia saw him and passed a perfect ball into the box where Zlatan hshot from the penalty spot. The hit wasn't perfect but enough to pass Schmeichel, goal! Zlatan's 15th in the league and 20th total this season.

 

He was pretty quite in the second when United was passing it around, completely controlling the game. He showed some skills in the 76th minute, dribbling past a Leicester-defender nicely but failed to get away a cross or shot.

 

Goal and a win, he keeps doing what's expected by him.
