It just had to be like this! Weeks and months of suffering, pain, sitters and other misses, both personally and collectively, are finally gone after the Tuesday night spectacle at iconic Old Trafford!With Manchester United, it just has to be unique, different, almost crazy… Erik ten Hag’s boys were rushing to another horrible Premier League defeat, losing 2-0 against Aston Villa after conceding two in the early stage of the game. It piled some more frustration on an already dreadful Red Devils’ season, and if it wasn’t for veteran Jonny Evans, whose goal-line clearance prevented the hosts from going 3-0 down, it would probably have ended in catastrophe. Alas, destiny smiled at United for another time.Unplayable Alejandro Garnacho stepped in with two superb goals in the span of just 12 minutes (between 60th and 72nd minutes) to resurrect his side.However, the hero of the night was definitely Rasmus Hojlund, who managed to score for the first time in 19 Premier League games (along with six Champions League ties)!1,026 minutes later, Rasmus Hojlund has scored a goal in the Premier League for Manchester United. This is not a drill.LETS GOOOO!!! 🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰 pic.twitter.com/tEz1h7uWpj— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) December 26, 2023 His left-footed volley ended in the back of the net with a little help of a woodwork and the Danish striker celebrated it emphatically. It was blatantly clear how much it meant to him, and the smile on Ten Hag’s face after this remarkable comeback proved that hope had officially returned to Old Trafford.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 19TuesdayNewcastle – Nott.Forest 1-3 (1-1)/Isak 24 pen – Wood 45+1, 53, 60/Bournemouth – Fulham 3-0 (1-0)/Kluivert 44, Solanke 62 pen, Sinisterra 90+3/Sheffield Utd – Luton 2-3 (0-1)/McBurnie 61, Ahmedhodzic 69 – Doughty 17, Robinson 77 og, Ben Slimane 81 og/Burnley – Liverpool 0-2 (0-1)/Darwin 6, Elliott 90/Man Utd – Aston Villa 3-2 (0-2)/Garnacho 60, 72, Hojlund 82 – McGinn 21, Dendoncker 26/Wednesday22:30: (2.05) Brentford (3.50) Wolverhampton (3.90)22:30: (1.80) Chelsea (3.70) Crystal Palace (5.00)23:15: (6.25) Everton (4.10) Man.City (1.62)Thursday22:30: (2.75) Brighton (3.60) Tottenham (2.60)23:15: (1.37) Arsenal (5.20) West Ham (10.0)***odds are subject to change***
