Man Utd won despite being two goals behind 1
It was not until the 15th match in the Premier League that Hojlund scored his first goal, but it had an important meaning.
Rasmus Hojlund (middle) celebrates his first goal in the Premier League, helping Man Utd beat Aston Villa 3-2 at Old Trafford, Manchester, on the evening of December 26, 2023.
As if a burden had been lifted, Hojlund, with a red face, ran close to the audience and repeatedly punched his hands in the air and shouted.
Hojlund was relieved, but Garnacho was the best player in the match with a double and many dribbles that disturbed the opponent’s defense.
The turning point came from midfielder Diego Carlos’s poor pass in the middle of the field, allowing Bruno Fernandes to steal it and poke it down to Marcus Rashford on the left.

The match seemed to be arranged just after the first half of the first half, when Aston Villa scored two goals from well-arranged fixed situations.
This is not the first time Onana has conceded a goal from long-range free kicks straight towards the goal like that.
However, the second goal lost at Old Trafford on the evening of December 26 can hardly be blamed on the 27-year-old goalkeeper.
Dendoncker (No. 32) scored a heel to increase the score to 2-0 for Aston Villa.
Ten Hag `froze` before losing two quick goals, when the home player lost concentration.
Compared to the loss to Bournemouth three weeks ago, Man Utd’s spirit this time was much better when they were behind.
