Garnacho broke Owen's record
Manchester United's winger, Alejandro Garnacho, rescued the team from defeat in the match against Aston Villa (3-2) and set a new Premier League record. Garnacho is now the youngest player to score a brace on Boxing Day in the history of the English Premier League, accomplishing this feat at the age of 19 years and 178 days.
The previous record belonged to Liverpool legend Michael Owen, who achieved it at the age of 20 years and 12 days in 1999 in a game against Newcastle (2:2).
In the current season, Garnacho has scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist in 25 matches across all competitions. His scissor-kick goal against Everton was named the most beautiful goal in November.
After the victory against Aston Villa, Manchester United occupies the sixth position in the English Premier League standings, accumulating 31 points under the management of Erik ten Hag.
