Premier League: talking points from the weekend action

H?jlund finally finds the net, top-four battle hots up while Willian proves class once again
He finally scored. Rasmus H?jlund broke his 21-match goal drought ? dating back to 12 December ? with a composed strike to put Manchester United 1-0 up against Leicester at the King Power Stadium. Having received the ball from Bruno Fernandes around 40 yards out from goal, he carried it into the penalty area before unleashing a powerful low shot into the bottom-left corner. You could just sense the relief on the striker?s face as he walked back to the halfway line for the restart. It was also a positive evening for Alejandro Garnacho, who ended his 25-game stretch without a goal, dating back to 28 November. It should give both players a much-needed confidence boost heading into the final stretch of the season. ?The most important thing for me is the work they are putting in, especially defending,? Ruben Amorim said. ?They live for assists and scoring goals. Rasmus, really good control right foot and then Garnacho is always trying to score a goal and he deserved that feeling.? Emillia Hawkins
