'We know that' - Leicester star James Maddison makes admission after defeat at Manchester United

Leicester City midfielder James Maddison spoke openly after the Foxes' defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, suggesting that the away side 'needed to score' when they were on top in the game.

Erik ten Hag's side secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Brendan Rodgers' men at Old Trafford, with Marcus Rashford (2) and Jadon Sancho both on the scoresheet for the home side. The Reds were lucky to be level at the half-time break, but United came out of the blocks firing in the second period and were worthy winners in the end.

The Foxes had several opportunities to take the lead in the first half, but David de Gea was in superb form and made two spectacular saves to deny the visitors. Leicester had 11 shots in total in the first period, with two of those coming on target. Despite having less of the ball, Rodgers' men were still able to create two clear goalscoring opportunities, but were unable to take them.
