Rasmus Hojlund Makes History as Youngest Player to Score in Six Consecutive Premier League Games

Rasmus Hojlund, aged 21 years and 14 days, has made history by becoming the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games. The Manchester United forward's impressive streak continued as his team secured a hard-fought victory against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road.

Hojlund, who joined United from Atalanta for £72m in the summer, has been in scintillating form after initially struggling to find the back of the net. In the first seven minutes of the match, he scored two goals, showcasing his clinical finishing ability.

Despite Luton Town's fierce determination and spirited performance, United managed to create better chances throughout the game. Hojlund could have completed a hat-trick, but Luton's goalkeeper, Thomas Kaminski, denied him. In the end, Hojlund's early goals proved to be enough as United extended their winning streak.

This victory brings United within five points of fourth-placed Aston Villa, keeping them in contention for a top-four finish.

The match also highlighted the impact of United's young players. Hojlund, along with 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo, stepped up when experienced players struggled to cope with Luton's intensity. Hojlund's hold-up play and physical presence, combined with Mainoo's composure, proved crucial in securing the win.

Luton Town, despite the loss, showed great resilience and determination. They fought hard throughout the match and were rewarded with a goal from Carlton Morris. The team's approach in the hostile environment of Kenilworth Road has made it difficult for even the top Premier League teams to secure comfortable victories.

Overall, this match showcased the talent and potential of young players like Hojlund and Mainoo, while also highlighting Luton Town's fighting spirit. United's victory keeps them in the race for a top-four finish, while Luton can take pride in their performance and continue to fight for survival in the Premier League.
