In the early morning of March 17 (Vietnam time), Man United faced Leicester - a team in the relegation zone in round 29 of the Premier League.
Against a weaker opponent, the Red Devils easily controlled the game and opened the scoring in the 28th minute. From a pass from Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund fired a dangerous right-footed shot that defeated Mads Hermansen. This was also the Danish striker's first goal in all competitions since December.
Alejandro Garnacho immediately put the ball in Leicester's net, but unfortunately he was offside. In the 67th minute, the Argentine player put his name on the scoreboard with a shot towards the near post. The goal also ended his goalless streak since the end of November in all competitions.
In the 90th minute, Fernandes shot from the edge of the penalty area after a quick counter-attack, sealing the score at 3-0 for Man United. He has contributed his footsteps to all 3 goals of the home team. Thanks to that, Ruben Amorim and his team climbed to 13th place in the Premier League rankings.
Leicester have become the first team in the history of the English top flight to lose 7 consecutive home games without scoring any goals. The Foxes are currently 19th with 17 points, 9 points behind the safe zone.
