3-2! Manchester United staged a big comeback at home and on Boxing Day, they did not disappoint their fans. Against Villa, the Reds were in excellent form and at Old Trafford they were giving their fans a festive gift.
This campaign can be described as a twist and turn, Manchester United experienced 0-2, to the equalizer, and finally staged a stunner process, seeing the team 2 goals behind, many fans are ready to lose, fortunately, Manchester United is still competitive, this time they did not play a good start, but closed a good end.
Not only did Manchester United score three points, but Hojlund also broke his own goal drought. Prior to that, Hojlund had made 14 Premier League appearances and failed to score a single goal. The Danish talent, who is worth 75 million euros, has been regarded by many as a parallel import, and this night he finally made a name for himself.
In the 82nd minute of the second half, the score was 2-2, and thanks to Garnacho's two goals, Manchester United equalized with difficulty. The home side were in high spirits and with wave after wave of attacks pouring into the Villa penalty area, it looked like it was only a matter of time before they scored.
The Reds were awarded a corner and then driven into the box, and the ball got to Hojlund, only to volley the ball into the net for a 3-2 thrashing of the game.
After the goal, Hojlund was so excited that he knelt on the pitch to celebrate, and all the United players on the field, including Onana, ran over to celebrate with Hojlund. For the 20-year-old Danish talent, it was a goal that had been waited too long. After 15 Premier League games, he finally scored his first goal, and it was a stunner, which is truly precious.
Ten Hag, on the sidelines, finally smiled after the goal, and the Dutch coach was under a lot of pressure after asking his team to bring in Hojlund at a high price. Hojlund's performance was not good, all the fingers were pointed at Ten Hag, and everyone blamed him for his poor reinforcements, but fortunately, Hojlund finally broke the drought in this game, and Ten Hag was able to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Manchester United also created a miracle. This is the 20th year in a row that they have been undefeated on Boxing Day. During this period, Manchester United won 17 and drew three, and did not cause fans to be confused on Boxing Day. I have to say that although Manchester United has not won the Premier League championship for 11 years, they still have their own pride, and I hope Manchester United will find their form as soon as possible, and the top four in the Premier League or even the championship is where they should be!
