Goals, Gaffes, and Guts at King Power…
Man Utd had a comedy night to remember at King Power Stadium, trouncing Leicester City 3-0 while breaking a few goal-scoring curses along the way. Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho, previously about as lethal as butterflies, finally remembered where the back of the net was hiding! Hojlund scored first with the precision of a Swiss watch after catching a Bruno Fernandes pass. Garnacho remembered the art of scoring too, fed once more by the generous Fernandes, three cheers for multi-tasking captains!
Meanwhile, United defenders decided to challenge engineers by constructing mini-pitches during warm-up. Imagine five defenders versus five attackers playing a glorified version of “dodge the cones.” The dynamic duo, Hojlund and Garnacho, worked their magic in this makeshift playground—no goals, just tricks, but hey, they caught the confidence bug!
In tragicomic fashion, young Ayden Heaven saw his evening cut short. The spotlight also fell on Carlos Fernandes’ long-throw circus act. With throw-ins turning into a competitive Olympic sport for United, even Diogo Dalot’s arms got their moment in the sun. As the mangled pitch drama unfolded, Man Utd shuffled their deck of antics and secured a win that felt more akin to a sitcom than a regular match.
