Rasmus Hojlund: Man United loanee shines for Napoli in massive victory

Hojlund was substituted after 61 minutes with the home side 4-0 up and coasting towards an important win in the Champions League race.

He took four shots on goal, but none hit the target and one effort was blocked by the defence.

The striker also completed 100% of his dribble attempts and made two key passes in the match, creating one big chance.

Hojlund also won both his ground duels and two out of three of his aerial battles in a strong night’s work for the 23-year-old.

Their victory means Napoli stay in second and have an 11-point lead ahead of fifth-placed Como.

Napoli and Hojlund’s next fixture will be a tough-looking trip to Como on Saturday, 2nd May, where they could clinch a top four place with a victory.
