Manchester United delivered a commanding performance to defeat Leicester City 3-0 at the King Power Stadium. The match saw Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Bruno Fernandes shine as they led their team to a much-needed win.
Hojlund opened the scoring in the 28th minute, ending a 21-game goal drought with a clinical finish after a precise pass from Fernandes. The Danish striker’s relief was evident as he celebrated his long-awaited goal. United maintained control throughout the first half, with Christian Eriksen coming close to doubling the lead with a stunning effort that struck the post.
In the second half, Garnacho added the second goal in the 67th minute, showcasing his skill and composure. The young Argentine, who had also been struggling to find the net, celebrated his first goal in 25 games. Fernandes sealed the victory in the closing stages with a well-taken strike, capping off an impressive individual performance.
Leicester, on the other hand, struggled to create meaningful chances and extended their dismal home record, becoming the first team in English top-flight history to lose seven consecutive home games without scoring. The defeat leaves them in a precarious position, nine points from safety and facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation.
