Manchester United earned their first win in over a month in beating Leicester 1-0 thanks to an early Marcus Rashford penalty on Saturday.

United lost one and drew two of their last three English Premier League games, but seized the lead early against Leicester when Rashford was brought down by Caglar Soyuncu.

Rashford stepped up to score with a powerful strike from the spot in the eighth minute. He also hit the bar from a free-kick late on.

Leicester, which had been unbeaten in its first four league games, nearly levelled in the 30th when goalkeeper David de Gea was forced to leap to keep out a long-range shot from Ben Chilwell. That was de Gea's second big save of the game after stopping James Maddison's shot in the opening minutes.
