Premier League: Man United threw away win at Leicester, says boss Louis van Gaal

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said his team threw away the three points on Sunday as Leicester came back from a two-goal deficit to record an unbelievable 5-3 win. The Red Devils were leading 3-1 with 30 minutes left in the game but Leicester pulled off an unlikely comeback. Van Gaal said: "It is not good because we had the game in our pocket and gave it away. Not because of Leicester; we gave it away and I don't like that. We have too many players who want to seek for the goal." The Dutch manager did not criticise referee Mark Clattenburg for awarding the penalty kick that sparked Leicester's comeback. "For the first penalty it is always the referee who you talk about but you don't have to do that as a player," added Van Gaal. "You know you are in the penalty area and you allow the referee to whistle if you make a challenge. I don't know if it is a penalty but we have to look at ourselves because we made such big errors as a team. We didn't keep ball possession in the right way," said Van Gaal. "Leicester have already showed against Arsenal and Stoke that they can come back and they did it very well. Leicester had five shots on goal, and that was it. These five goals were existing because we made errors in ball possession." The result leaves Manchester United 16/1 to win the Premier League title this season according to Bet365 Sportsbook.
