With another impressive performance against Luton, RASMUS HOJLUND surpassed a Premier League record.
Within seven minutes, Manchester United surged to a 2-0 lead on the strength of both goals scored by the Danish forward.
A Premier League record was shattered by Rasmus Hojlund 37 seconds into the match against Luton.
13 goals have been tallied by him across all competitions.
Just 37 seconds into the match, he capitalized on a woeful pass by Amari’i Bell and finished composedly in front of goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski.
With the goal, Hojlund, who is 21 years old, broke a Premier League record and became the youngest player to score in six consecutive games.
His current unbeaten streak dates back to Boxing Day, when he scored his first goal in domestic competitions during an exhilarating 3-2 victory over Aston Villa.
Since then, Hojlund has maintained his striking form by netting goals against Wolves, West Ham, Tottenham, Villa for a second time, and now Luton.
United supporters are overjoyed to learn that the £72 million acquisition has established himself at the club.
One individual remarked, “I am overjoyed for him.” I had no doubt that he would become a sensation.”
One more added, “Ten Hag has completed an extraordinary signing.”
One additional individual remarked, “Have all those haters vanished abruptly?”
The 21-year-old scored again mere minutes after surpassing the record, this time due to a deflected shot from Alejandro Garnacho that struck off his torso.
It initially appeared that United would have a breeze of an afternoon following the early double, but that was not the case.
There were just over 11,000 spectators at Kenilworth Stadium in Luton when the host team retook control of the remainder of the first half. The stadium quickly resumed its tumultuous atmosphere. Carlton Morris, in his fourteenth minute of play, salvaged a goal from close range.
United secured the victory despite multiple opportunities for the host team to score and even hitting the crossbar in stoppage time, thereby closing the gap to fifth-place Tottenham by three points.
After going scoreless in his first fourteen league appearances for United, Hojlund has now scored seven in his last six. Two weeks after turning 21, the Dane surpassed Joe Willock as the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League matches.
