Premier League: victory over Manchester United — September 2014
On 21 September 2014, Leicester City hosted Manchester United at King Power Stadium. For many fans, the outcome of the match was a foregone conclusion: United had strengthened their squad with Falcao, Di Maria and Herrera and seemed unbeatable. Van Persie opened the scoring in the 13th minute, and a few minutes later Angel Di Maria beat Schmeichel with an elegant shot to make it 0-2.
It seemed that the Foxes were doomed, but Nigel Pearson's team showed character. Leonardo Ulloa reduced the deficit a minute later, giving them hope. The second half began with another strike from United: Herrera made it 1-3. But instead of falling apart, Leicester played even more boldly. David N'Zogbia scored after a run, then Vardy earned a penalty, which Ulloa converted to make it 3-3.
The stadium erupted like a volcano. United lost control, and Leicester continued to attack. In the 79th minute, Vardy escaped the defenders and scored the fourth, and in the final minutes, Uloa made it 5-3 from the penalty spot.

Premier League: victory over Manchester City — February 2016
On 6 February 2016, Leicester travelled to Manchester to face their main rivals for the title. Many expected the Foxes' lead to be just a temporary blip, and that this is where their dream would come crashing down. But Ranieri's team rewrote history.
In the 3rd minute, Robert Huth scored the first goal after a pass from Mahrez — 0:1. City tried to apply pressure, but Morgan and Schmeichel held the defensive line. At the start of the second half, Mahrez made a solo run, beating two defenders and shooting into the far corner to make it 0-2. This moment became symbolic of Leicester's style: quick attacks, confidence and cold calculation.
Ten minutes later, Huth scored again, this time from a corner, bringing the score to 0:3. The Etihad stands fell silent, while the visitors celebrated. Only at the end did Agüero manage to score a consolation goal, but it did not change the outcome.

In the 83rd minute, a moment occurred that fans still remember: Robert Huth won the ball in the air after a corner and scored the only goal of the match. Leicester won 1-0 and retained their lead.
