Manchester United's Rasmus Højlund and Alejandro Garnacho ended goal droughts and Bruno Fernandes scored again to earn a 3-0 win at struggling Leicester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
Looking to win back-to-back matches in all competitions for the first time since late January, United went ahead in the 28th minute through Højlund's first goal since mid-December.
The beleaguered hosts never threatened an equaliser, with Garnacho ending the match as a contest in the 67th minute -- the first time the Argentina international has found the net since the end of November in all competitions.
Fernandes put the icing on the cake with a fine late third as United cruised to a win that moved Ruben Amorim's side up to 13th while 19th-placed Leicester slipped closer to relegation.
"I think you can see some progress," Fernandes told Sky Sports. "But that has to go on and on. We have important games.
"I want to score many goals as I can as it's a big part of my game and I need to assist my teammates. I need to get onto the edge of the box and get goals as it is one of my qualities.
"Very pleased and very important to get the job done today."
For Leicester, relegation seems inevitable as they became the first team in English top-flight history to lose seven home games in a row without scoring. They are second-bottom on 17 points from 29 games, nine adrift of the safety zone.
"I think in both boxes the difference in quality showed," Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy said. "The efficiency in finishing chances, and also defending key moments in the game."
"Overall if you look at the metrics of the game there's not much in it. But obviously the efficiency is there."
