Manchester United has returned to the rhythm of the English Premier League. The team trapped in the circle of loss and draw is picking up one win after another. Eric ten Haag’s team saw their fourth win in a row after losing to Luton Town. United won 2-1 in the opponent’s field on Sunday with Gasmus Hjland’s double goal.
Luton started to attack from the beginning of the match. However, United resisted with determination in their defense. Ten Haag’s disciples also counter-attacked. And that’s when they saw the goal. Opponent defender Amari Bell cleared the ball and put it at Hjland’s feet. The young Danish forward did the rest with a cool head.
Hjland is making a feat with this goal. He became the youngest player in Premier League history to find the back of the net in six consecutive matches. This Danish star made the record at the age of 21 years and 14 days. The previous record was held by Newcastle midfielder Joe Wilker, aged 21 years and 272 days.
United started attacking with confidence after getting the goal. It was United’s goal again in the seventh minute and Hujland was the centerpiece of the celebrations. Alessandro Garnacho’s volley was curled by Hailun, the ball hit his chest and crossed the goal line.
The team also got a goal in the 14th minute of the match after Luton repaid a goal. English forward Carlton Morris narrows the gap with a header from close range. Then they could get another goal. But United narrowly survived before the break. English midfielder Alfie Doughty’s low shot went wide of the post.
Both teams attacked in the second half. No one else scored. Ten Haag’s team left the field with a win. Three points are confirmed for Manchester United. The team is placed sixth in the table with 44 points in 25 matches and 14 wins and 2 draws. Above them are Tottenham Hotspur with 47 points. And number four Aston Villa points 49.
Liverpool tops with 57 points. Arsenal are second with 2 points less. Manchester City are third with 53 points, the title holders, however, have played a match less.
