Football fans got their Thursday night drama fix as Manchester United snatched a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League, while Tottenham's hopes took a hit with a goalless draw against Rangers. ⚽️🔥
Hojlund: United's New Hero?
Rasmus Hojlund became the talk of the town after scoring a second-half brace to reverse United's fortunes. The Danish striker's clutch performance kept redemption hopes alive for Ruben Amorim's squad, who now sit seventh in the league phase standings. A top-eight finish would secure automatic qualification for the round of 16 – crucial for a team craving European glory. 🏟️💪
Spurs' Silent Strikers
Meanwhile, Tottenham's attack hit a wall in Scotland as Rangers' defense held firm. The stalemate leaves Spurs needing strategic adjustments ahead of their next matches. With only the top 24 teams advancing, every point counts in this high-stakes tournament. 📉⚔️
