Manchester United U21 beat Leicester City U21 4-1 in Premier League 2, with Shea Lacey scoring twice to lead the way. Lacey opened the scoring after 14 minutes and then struck again early in the second period after Leicester had briefly levelled.
Lacey's first goal came from Jaydan Kamason's assist, and Bobby Amartey equalised for Leicester in the 27th minute. Lacey restored United's lead three minutes later from Ashton Missin's assist, and United added a third on 45 before JJ Gabriel completed the scoring in the 86th.
United controlled the contest throughout: they had 63% possession, 11 shots on target to Leicester's four, and seven corners to two. Lacey's brace was the standout individual contribution, but the whole performance was built on sustained pressure.
