Rasmus Hojlund's fairytale resurgence at Manchester United reached a new height in the Premier League clash against Luton Town on Sunday, February 18.
The Red Devils scraped pass Luton Town at Kenilworth Road to stay put in the top-four race, thanks to Rasmus Hojlund's brace.
Casemiro set up the youngster for the first goal after he passed a long ball over the top into Hatter's half. Luton Town defender Bell had a chance to clear the ball but mistakenly parried it into the path of Hojlund, who paced into the opponents' half and beat Luton Town goalkeeper to score and give the visitors the lead. The Denmark international scored just seconds into the game to pave way for United's victory.
In the 7th minute, Hojlund was on target again, scoring his quickest brace to double the lead for the Red Devils. Seven minutes after Hojlund's second, Luton Town fought back to reduce the deficit with Morris' goal. After the quick triple, both sides settled for a barren run till the final whistle.
Holjund stole the spotlights with his five-star performance in the game. He broke a Premier League record, becoming the youngest Premier League player to score in six consecutive Premier League matches.
Newcastle United's Joe Willock held the record after he registered his longest goalscoring streak in the Premier League at the age of 21 years, 272 days. Breaking the record, Hojlund scored against Luton - his sixth consecutive Premier League scoring streak - at the age of 21 years, 14 days.
Hojlund's feat came at the backdrop of his 14-game goal deadlock in the Premier League. The Danish sensation has been in the form of his life since he broke his goal duck in the Premier League clash against Aston Villa.
He has now scored 13 goals in all competitions for Manchester United consisting of 5 Champions League and 8 Premier League goals.
