MU menguasai pertandingan 71 persen pertandingan, sedangkan Leicester 29 persen. Unggul 3-0 di babak pertama, MU menurunkan tempo di babak kedua. Itu dimanfaatkan Leicester untuk mencetak gol, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Van Persie membuka rekening gol Setan Merah menit ke-27. Berawal dari Blind yang memberikan umpan ke Van Persie di depan. Van Persie yang lolos dari offside melesakkan tendangan ke pojok gawang Schwarzer. MU 1-0 Leicester.
Menit 32 Falcao menggandakan keunggulan MU. Berawal dari umpan silang Angel di Maria ke kotak penalti, Falcao yang sudah di depan gawang meneruskan bola masuk ke gawang Schwarzer. MU 2-0 Leicester.
MU kembali memperbesar keunggulan menit 44 berkat gol bunuh diri Wes Morgan.
Kerja sama Rooney dan Falcao hampir menghasilkan gol menit 58, jika saja tendangan Falcao tidak melebar.
Leicester mencetak satu gol balasan ke gawang MU menit 80. Berawal dari tendangan pojok Albrighton yang disundul Wasilewski ke gawang De Gea. MU 3-1 Leicester.
Manchester - Robin van Persie ended his dry spell with a spectacular finish that propelled Manchester United to a comfortable 3-1 win over Leicester.
Van Persie scored his first goal for over a month to put United ahead and Radamel Falcao got on the scoresheet before Wes Morgan´s own goal sealed the win, which moves Louis van Gaal´s men up to third in the Barclays Premier League.
Marcin Wasilewski scored in the second half, but the Foxes were unable to pull off another great comeback like they did in the reverse fixture last September, which ended 5-3 to Leicester.
Van Persie spoke candidly this week about how disappointed he was with his form this season.
The Dutchman said his performances had not been up to scratch and conceded he did not know if he had done enough to earn a contract extension.
But on Saturday he looked something like the Van Persie who scored 30 goals in his debut season at the club.
The Dutchman watched Daley Blind´s chip pass over his left shoulder before expertly stabbing the ball past Mark Schwarzer with his right boot.
Replays showed the 31-year-old may have been slightly offside, but he did not care.
Falcao rounded off a move which Van Persie started five minutes later and the three points were in the bag at half-time after Morgan turned Wayne Rooney´s corner into his own net
