Rasmus Hojlund hailed for 'outrageous' goal scored with his chest against Luton Town

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund has been praised for his “outrageous” chest shot that put the visitors two goals up at Luton Town.

The Dane had calmly put Man United ahead after just 36 seconds following a mistake by the home side, but the second was a controlled play to direct Alejandro Garnacho’s ball into the back of the net with his chest.

Commenting on Sky Sports, Gary Neville said the Dane had done “very well” to control the ball so instinctively into the back of the net.

And he added: “The second goal was yet to come. Since their first goal, United have not let up.

‘That’s not a lucky detour, I think he deliberately turns his chest there.
