It's over guys. End of. As much as we hate to admit it the Premier League title race really does seem to only have one horse in it after Leicester's late goal snatched two points form a profligate Manchester United.
Jamie Vardy opened the scoring just before the half hour mark after a perfectly weighted pass from Mahrez on the counter. United however dominated proceedings and a brace from Juan Mata, a tidy finish and a sumptuous free-kick, put them back in the driving seat.
After the sending off of City's Daniel Amartey on 73 minutes, United spurned three more good chances, with Rashford and Mkhitaryan wasteful in front of goal and Jesse Lingard striking the post after rounding Kasper Schmeicel.
Eventually succumbing to a 94th minute equaliser, United fans were understandably frustrated by their team's performance.
"United would have beaten City if they had Pogba".
They couldn't beat Leicester City or Bristol City with Pogba.
13 points. Merry Christmas!

Lost to man "City"
Lost to Bristol "City"
Drew with Leicester "City"

Red Devils' fans were infuriated as their side squandered the lead, Dessalean blaming the attack as well as Mourinho's tactics:
our attackers have been atrocious, and instead of an attacking sub, José puts on Herrera to park the bus. fool. #LEIMUN

Marcus Rashford is a fucking disgrace. Had Lukaku through the middle for an easy goal but wanted to waste time. Cost us 2 points. Fucking terrible #MUFC #LEIMUN
