Hojlund joins exclusive scoring club after Plzen goals

With his equaliser in Plzen, Rasmus Hojlund became the third player to score nine goals for Manchester United at the major stage of a European competition while aged 21 or younger.

The Denmark international was introduced as a substitute early in the second half of Thursday's 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League, before going on to find the net just six minutes after coming on.

Hojlund was in the right place at the right time to tuck away the rebound to Amad's initial shot, which had been saved by hosts' goalkeeper Martin Jedlicka after the Ivorian's impressive dart forward to create a shooting angle.
