While Hojlund’s second goal came from an odd strike following an Alejandro Garnacho mishit, his first goal was scored calmly as he circled the goalkeeper.Using his chest and shoulder, the Danish international deflected Garnacho’s effort into the goal’s corner by rotating his body. Hojlund refuted any questions by stating that he fully intended the finish and had even been practicing his shoulder work. It appeared purposeful.

“Yes, without a doubt,” Hojlund discussed whether or not his finish was deliberate with Sky Sports. I turn my body and flip it in so you can see it. “I was taken aback.” To be honest, that was a really great goal. I’ve truly made an effort to strengthen my shoulders—you know, the ones that pop up and juggle a little bit with the ball—rather than finish like this. It goes in because I currently have a lot of confidence as well.Hojlund played in the top tier for 14 games prior to scoring his first goal in the Premier League, and his seven goals have all come in the last six games. “No, I never had self-doubt,” he replied. However, it’s understandable that when you’re not scoring in the Premier League, you could feel a little sad. particularly when you’re that young and the stakes are so high. However, I always have faith in my ability to score a lot of goals. In the Champions League, I also scored. I was aware that it would only take a little while to continue honing my finishing, confidence, and comprehension of my teammates’ positions.Erik ten Hag is optimistic about his future and seems to have settled on a front three that includes Hojlund, Marcus Rashford, and Garnacho with Bruno Fernandes in back. He declared, “It’s quality players.” “I represent one of the world’s largest clubs.” Every day, I train and play with these top-notch guys. All I want is to keep playing with them, improve, and maybe help them improve as well, so that we can both get better together. It was a huge accomplishment today to close the distance with Spurs, who also dropped some points. Villa and Spurs will play each other next. Our goal is to qualify for the Champions League and advance as far as possible in the FA Cup, so we must keep working hard. We will stop at nothing to achieve our goal of winning everything since it is really essential to us to receive trophies.
