Draw at Man Utd step in right direction for Leicester says skipper Morgan

Leicester City captain Wes Morgan felt the Foxes took another step in the right direction on Sunday.

The East Midlands club drew 1-1 with Manchester United at Old Trafford to move eight points clear of second-placed Tottenham who now have to win at Chelsea on Monday nigh to avoid giving up the title.

Morgan, who scored a 17th-minute equaliser after Anthony Martial's earlier opener, felt it was a decent showing after a slow start and is thrilled that the premiership is now that little bit closer for he and his Leicester teammates.

"It was very tough. Man U dominated possession today," he told Sky Sports.

"We had to dig in, we had to be resilient and we had to do a lot of defending today.

"It's a point and a step in the right direction."
