Bruno Fernandes scored his eighth Premier League goal this season as Manchester United demolished Leicester City 3-0 at Kings Power Stadium, MySportDab reports.
The Red Devils went into the game off the back of a commendable performance in their last three matches.
They drew 1-1 against Real Sociedad away in Spain in the Europa League last-16 tie, settled for the same scoreline against Arsenal in the Premier League at Old Trafford, and then thrashed Real Sociedad 4-1 in the reverse fixture of the Europa League.
Against Leicester City, they were expected to ace it. For context, Leicester City have been the weeping boys in this Premier League campaign.
They are second from bottom with 17 points from 29 matches, winning four, drawing five, and losing 20.
They went into this game on the back of an ugly-looking 14-match losing streak and were clearly pushovers against United who are also struggling.
As expected, United kicked off proceedings with a superior display. They dominated play, wielded possession, and launched countless attacks.
It was just a matter of time before the Red Devils put the Foxes to the sword and Ramus Hojlund made it happen two minutes before the half-hour.
Latching on an assist from Bruno Fernandes, Hojlund ended his goal drought, scoring to give United the lead.
The goal was enough to send the away side into the break with a lead.
In the second half, Bruno Fernandes bagged his second assist, setting up Alejandro Garnacho for United’s second in the 67th minute.
Just at the stroke of regulation time, the Portuguese capped his remarkable performance with a hat-trick of goal contributions to blow out the opponents.
He scored United’s third goal to secure a 3-0 victory for the Red Devils after the final whistle.
