Rasmus Hojlund emerged as the hero for Manchester United, securing a 3-2 comeback victory against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
After falling behind 2-0 within the first 26 minutes, United rallied back to claim a crucial win under the guidance of manager Erik ten Hag.
Aston Villa initially took the lead with goals from John McGinn’s free-kick and Leander Dendoncker’s close-range finish, leaving the home crowd in disbelief.
However, United refused to be deterred and mounted a spirited comeback in the second half.
Young talent Alejandro Garnacho led the charge with two quick goals, leveling the score and raising the atmosphere at Old Trafford.
The home fans, who have expressed frustration with the team’s performances this season, were now filled with renewed hope and excitement.
The defining moment of the game came when Rasmus Hojlund, who had struggled to find the net since his arrival in a £72 million deal, finally broke his Premier League goal drought.
His goal sealed the comeback and secured a crucial win for United.
Speaking after the match, Hojlund, “It has been a while [waiting for a first league goal] but yes, I am very happy.
“I am the happiest man alive right now. You can see from the celebrations as well. Like [Garnacho] said, we believed in ourselves until the very end and got the win today.”
