Man Utd striker Hojlund matches Prem record

Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund achieved a rare landmark on Sunday.

The Denmark forward has become the second-youngest player to score in five straight games in the Premier League.

Hojlund, who is only 21, scored in United's 2-1 win at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Hojlund had previously gone 14 games in the Premier League without scoring.

The record for the youngest player to score in five successive games is still with an ex-Arsenal man.

Former Gunners and France striker Nicolas Anelka holds that mark from back in 1998.
