Manchester United have taken the advantage in their Sunday afternoon Premier League fixture against West Ham, with Rasmus Hojlund being the one to supply the finishing touch once again.
Hojlund had not scored prior to the final game of 2023, a thrilling turnaround win over Aston Villa but after scoring the winning goal in that game, he has now scored in four straight games.
His latest strike has given the Reds the lead against West Ham, as seen below, who came into the game on Sunday looking to do the double over United for the first time since 2007.

West Ham were unlucky to fall behind after starting the game well but United will now be hoping to score a second and put the affair beyond the Hammers.
