Manchester United 1-1 Leicester City

Wes Morgan
Leicester's goalscorer Wes Morgan was in this season's PFA team of the year

Leicester City will have to wait for another day at least to be champions of England for the first time after drawing at Manchester United.

United led when Anthony Martial converted Antonio Valencia's cross.

But Leicester were level nine minutes later when Wes Morgan headed home a free-kick from Danny Drinkwater, who was sent off late on for two bookings.

If Tottenham fail to win at Chelsea on Monday, then Leicester will be crowned Premier League champions.

Otherwise, Claudio Ranieri's side - 5,000-1 outsiders at the start of the season - will have the chance to win the title in front of their own fans when they play Everton next Saturday (17:30 BST).

Full report to follow.
