Rasmus Højlund is riding his cloud and has no intention of leaving it. In sparkling form in recent weeks (4 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 Premier League matches), the Danish striker further improved his statistical record this Sunday against Aston Villa (1-2). Scorer from the 17th minute of play from a corner (0-1), the former Atalanta Bergamo player delivered an XXL performance beyond his goal. However, it was long believed that it would be insufficient to see his team win.
In the second half, Douglas Luiz, also in the form of his life currently, had in fact reduced the gap after a game of billiards (1-1, 67th). A draw then seemed to be taking shape, before the supersub and unsuspected Scott McTominay entered the scene at the end of the match. On a cross from Diogo Dalot, the Scotsman gave his team victory (86th, 1-2) with a destructive header to extinguish Villa Park. A major success, which allows Manchester United (41 points) to trail Newcastle by five points. Aston Villa remains 5th in the standings, and still maintains a comfortable cushion of 5 points over their evening opponent.
