2-1!5 consecutive wins!Manchester United is crazy, the 21-year-old striker has 7 goals in 6 games, and he has a play in the Champions League!
The 25th round of the Premier League continues, with promoted Luton Town hosting the Red Devils Manchester United. With two goals from Danish striker Hojlund, Manchester United won 2-1 and grabbed three points, won five consecutive victories in all competitions, and regained hope of entering the Champions League!
After entering 2024, Manchester United, which did not perform well in the first half, seems to have suddenly been opened to the second pulse of Rendu. Before the start of this round of matches, Manchester United played a total of six games this year, with a record of five wins and one draw, and have not tasted defeat so far. With a recent wave of wins, Manchester United has also returned to the top of the standings and once again saw the dawn of the race for the top four. In this round of matches, Manchester United went away to challenge promoted Luton Town.
On paper, Manchester United undoubtedly have an absolute advantage, and the scene of the game also confirmed this. Just one minute into the game, Manchester United took the lead in scoring, Luton defender Amariyi made a low-level pass mistake at the back, Hojlund quickly inserted to form a single knife, faced the attacking goalkeeper, he calmly shook the opponent and scored an empty goal, helping Manchester United to take a 1-0 lead! With this goal, the 21-year-old Hojlund also set a record, becoming the youngest player in Premier League history to score in six consecutive games, and it is his outstanding performance that has brought Manchester United a new lease of life in 2024!
However, the show was not over, in the 7th minute, Manchester United made a comeback, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Garnacho volleyed in the penalty area, the ball accidentally hit Hojlund's chest and bounced into the goal, Manchester United made a dream start, extending the score to 2-0 early! Just when everyone thought Manchester United was about to achieve a big victory, the home team Luton launched a crazy counterattack, in the 14th minute, Luton midfielder Zhong Tahi shot in the box was blocked, and the follow-up Morris scored with a close-range header to help Luton narrow the gap to one goal.
The Luton team's counterattack continued, but in the face of Manchester United's active retreat, they did not create too good chances to score, but the Red Devils' counter-attacks frequently created threats. If it weren't for Diogo Dalot, Fernando Fernandes and Garnacho missing chances one after another, the suspense of the game might have been killed early in the morning. Neither side achieved anything from there, and the score was held at 2-1 until the end, and in the end, United won 2-1 against Luton Town to usher in a fifth consecutive win in all competitions, leaving them five points clear of fourth-placed Villa.
In the next round of fixtures, Manchester United will return to their home stadium to take on Fulham. I hope the Red Devils can continue their good form and continue to attack the Champions League ticket with victory!
