Rasmus Hojlund became the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games after scoring a brace against Luton Town on Sunday afternoon.
Hojlund (21 years 14 days) surpassed Joe Willock’s record (21 years 272 days) by scoring twice in the Manchester United clash at Kenilworth Road.

Thomas Kaminski narrowed the angle, but the forward, now full of confidence, simply went around him and slotted the ball into the empty goal.
Hojlund extended Manchester United’s lead just six minutes later, deflecting Alejandro Garnacho’s volley attempt.

This is not the first time Hojlund has broken a record, as he had previously broken a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hojlund scored and assisted in consecutive Premier League games at a younger age than Ronaldo in 2007.
