Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund finally ended his 22-hour and 19-minute goal drought, scoring a crucial goal in his team’s 3-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
The £72million Danish striker had been struggling to find the back of the net, but his persistence paid off in the 28th minute, sparking wild celebrations from the United bench.
Hojlund’s goal was a significant moment in the match, which saw United dominate proceedings.
The victory marks a welcome return to form for Erik ten Hag’s side, following an encouraging week that included a draw against Arsenal and progress to the Europa League quarter-finals.
Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes also found the net for United, securing a comfortable win over a struggling Leicester side.
The Foxes, meanwhile, are now nine points from safety with nine games remaining, and their relegation woes continue to deepen.
United’s win was marred by an injury to young defender Ayden Heaven, who was stretchered off in the second half.
Despite this setback, United’s defense held strong, protecting their lead and securing a valuable three points.
The victory marks a significant milestone for Hojlund, who had been struggling to find his footing in front of goal.
His relief was palpable as he celebrated his goal, and United fans will be hoping this marks the beginning of a prolific run for the Danish striker.
