Manchester United’s forward, Rasmus Hojlund, has etched his name in the Premier League record books by becoming the youngest player ever to score in six consecutive league games. Hojlund showcased his goal-scoring prowess during United’s 2-1 victory against Luton Town, netting a quick brace within the opening minutes of the match.
In the first 37 seconds, Hojlund rounded goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski to open the scoring. Shortly after, he displayed intelligence with a second goal, adjusting quickly to chest the ball past Kaminski after Alejandro Garnacho’s strike rebounded off him.
Hojlund’s remarkable scoring streak began with a decisive goal in a 3-2 comeback against Aston Villa on Boxing Day. After overcoming illness that forced him to miss a game against Nottingham Forest, he continued his streak with goals against Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves, West Ham, Aston Villa, and the recent exploits at Luton.
