Comments:

League position: 8th Jamie Vardy became the first player to score 50 goals for Leicester City in the Premier League. The Foxes had now lost one of their last seven games in the Premier League (won four). Daniel Amartey's dismissal was the quickest a substitute had been sent-off in the Premier League (16 minutes) since Ben Watson for Watford at Southampton in August 2016 (12 minutes).

Comments:

League position: 2nd Manchester United had now conceded in each of their last six away games in the Premier League. United conceded a goal in injury time for the second game in a row after losing 2-1 at Bristol City in a League Cup quarter-final. In the 300th appearance of his career in England, Juan Mata scored two goals in a Premier League game for the first time since March 2015 against Liverpool.
