NEW DELHI:
Rasmus Hojlund
wasted no time making an impact, scoring twice early on to lead
Manchester United
to a thrilling 2-1 victory against Luton Town in the
Premier League
on Sunday, bringing them closer to the top four contention.
The Danish striker capitalized on a defensive lapse to give United the lead just 37 seconds into the match, before doubling the advantage only seven minutes later to firmly establish his team's dominance.
Despite Luton's spirited response, with Carlton Morris's courageous header narrowing the margin in the 14th minute, the match remained surprisingly goal-shy considering the opportunities both sides created in an open game.
Manchester United, currently in sixth place, squandered numerous clear-cut chances in the second half, while Luton's Ross Barkley came close to equalizing with a header against the crossbar in stoppage time.
With this fourth consecutive league victory, Manchester United now sit on 44 points from 25 matches, trailing fourth-placed Aston Villa by five points.
