Manchester United rallied from a goal behind to win a crucial Europa League match at Viktoria Plzen, thanks to two goals from Rasmus Hojlund, who came off the bench.
As a result, Ruben Amorim’s team moves up into the top eight, guaranteeing them a spot in the competition’s round of 16.
After coming on in the second half, Hojlund ignited a United comeback and has already scored five goals in the tournament this season.
When the Ivorian’s first attempt was blocked, the 21-year-old forward poked in from close range to tie the score following some excellent link-up play from Antony and Amad Diallo.
The Denmark international then ran on to Bruno Fernandes’ deft ball and fired a low shot into the bottom-right corner.
Hojlund’s intervention saved teammate Andre Onana’s blushes after the United goalie committed a crucial error that led to a goal for the second straight game.
When the Cameroon goalie had the ball at his feet in his own penalty area, there didn’t appear to be much danger. However, Pavel Sulc stopped him from passing to Matthijs de Ligt, who then squared the ball to Matej Vydra, allowing the former Watford and Burnley forward to tap into an empty net from six yards out.
