Bruno Fernandes' finest hour: Manchester United defeated Leicester
In the 11th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United hosted Leicester. United are used to doing without Erik ten Hague, and this match showed that the club is on the right track.
Leicester were outplayed on all accounts and all the goals came from Mancunians' leader Bruno Fernandes. After 17 minutes and Diallo's pass the Portuguese hit the bottom far corner of the goal without a chance for the goalkeeper. Later Bruno didn't even touch the ball, but it was him who tried to get ahead of Christiansen, who sent the ball into his own net. And finally Fernandes made an assist with an effective pass to Garnacho, who had no problem to complete the defeat of Leicester with a shot into the net - 3:0.
