The Danish striker&#8217;s brace helped overturn a 0-1 deficit and secured three crucial points for the English side.<br \/>Man United currently hold the seventh position in the group stage standings. A top-eight finish guarantees automatic qualification for the round of 16. Finishing between ninth and twenty-fourth place leads to a play-off tie for a spot in the next round.<br \/>Matej Vydra gave Viktoria Plzen a surprising lead three minutes into the second half. However, Hojlund&#8217;s two goals in the final half-hour sealed the win for United.<br \/>The winning goal came just two minutes before the final whistle. Bruno Fernandes cleverly passed a free-kick to the 21-year-old Hojlund, who skillfully held off a defender before scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham Hotspur played to a 1-1 draw with Rangers in Glasgow. Both teams share 11 points in the group stage standings.<br \/>Rangers currently occupy the final automatic qualification spot. Tottenham Hotspur sit one place below them.<br \/>The draw provides some relief for Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou. His team had only one win in their previous seven matches across all competitions.<br \/>Rangers took the lead two minutes after the half-time break. Hamza Igamane, the Moroccan striker, continued his impressive start in Glasgow by scoring his fourth goal in as many European appearances this season.<br \/>Captain James Tavernier delivered a precise pass to Igamane, who finished expertly at the far post.<br \/>Tottenham Hotspur equalized with fifteen minutes remaining. Substitutes Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski combined effectively, with Kulusevski deceiving the goalkeeper with a composed finish.<br \/>Rangers&#8217; Cyriel Dessers nearly scored a late winner. However, Tottenham goalkeeper Fraser Forster made a crucial save in the last ten minutes. Moments later, a goal by Dessers was disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n<p>Lazio<!-- --> lead the group with 16 points.
