Leicester manager Craig Shakespeare warns his side about conceding from set pieces

Craig Shakespeare has warned his Leicester side about conceding from set pieces, saying they cannot let them be their Achilles heel.

The Foxes conceded the opening goal from a corner as Marcus Rashford tapped home from a Henrikh Mkhitaryan delivery, with Marouane Fellaini adding the second as the Midlands side lose 2-0 to Manchester United on Saturday evening.

It comes just over two weeks after Leicester conceded two late goals from corners when they lost 4-3 to Arsenal in the opening game of the Premier League season, and Shakespeare has warned his side to not let set-pieces become their weakness.

"[For the first goal] It's a set play and we need to be mindful that it doesn't become an Achilles heel for us," he told a post-match press conference.

"We spoke about it after the Arsenal game and we've worked on it but of course we have to put it into action on the pitch.

"We knew we would have to frustrate them coming here and for large parts of the game, I thought we did that and did it really well. Of course we needed to do a bit better with the ball at times but I felt for large chucks of the game to 70 or 75 minutes, we did.

"We frustrated and restricted them. We knew they'd have moments. Then they managed to capitalise on the big moments."

Leicester's best spell of the game came after the introduction of Demarai Gray and Andy King on the hour mark, with the duo nearly linking up to nick a last minute consolation goal, but they were unable to make the breakthrough.

Speaking about their substitutions, Shakespeare added: "I needed an extra midfield player in there because I thought they were getting into little pockets. The idea was just to give us a bit of extra protection in there in midfield and also when we had possession of the ball with Demarai Gray, it became a 4-3-3."

"It was a question of us carrying the ball a bit further and being progressive with Demarai, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy as a three-pronged attack. We got both wingers in some good areas but we couldn't quite capitalise on them."
