Axel Tuanzebe’s own goal earned Leicester a 2-2 draw with Manchester United to ensure they remain above them in second spot.
Bruno Fernandes’ 79th-minute goal had looked to have maintained United’s 100 per cent away record this season but Tuanzebe deflected in Jamie Vardy’s strike to level it up on 85 minutes.
Marcus Rashford’s opener (23) had earlier been cancelled out by Harvey Barnes (31) before the interval in what was an evenly-balanced contest between Liverpool’s closest rivals in the title race.
Rashford had a wonderful opportunity to give Manchester United the lead inside the first two minutes only to head Fernandes’ left-wing cross over from point-blank range.
The England forward did not have to wait too long to open the scoring, however, this time slotting the ball beyond Kasper Schmeichel after Fernandes diverted it into his path.
That assist for the Portugal midfielder, followed by his goal, means he has now been involved in 31 of the 60 United goals scored in the Premier League since his arrival in January.
