Peter Drury’s commentary for Rasmus Hojlund's goal is perfection, nobody does it better

Peter Drury's commentary as Rasmus Hojlund broke his Premier League duck against Aston Villa on Tuesday night has been described as goosebump-worthy viewing.

It was an evening to remember for the Danish forward, who had gone 1,026 minutes without a league goal following his big-money move from Serie A side Atalanta in the summer.

After a second-half brace from Alejandro Garnacho levelled the scores, it was Hojlund that grabbed a late winner as the Stretford End celebrated another dramatic comeback at Old Trafford.

The 20-year-old looked incredibly emotional after finding the net. Peter Drury, who was on commentary for NBC-owned USA Today, certainly did the goal justice.

"Dream fulfilled," he screamed. "And Manchester United from the depths hit the heights. At last. At long long last. Amid festivity. Rasmus Hojlund with a Premier League goal in front of a manic Stretford End."

Drury, who was working alongside former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon, also provided a wonderful segment at the final whistle as cameras panned towards Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho.

"A night of thrilling Manchester United nostalgia," he said. "This is how it used to be. This is how Old Trafford can be. This is Manchester United who once upon a time were never beaten."

Drury added: "Tonight, they remembered how it can be. Two down and going nowhere, suddenly they feel like as though they are going places."

After the full-time whistle, a jubilant Hojlund said he was "the happiest man alive" as he stood next to teammate Garnacho.

Speaking to Amazon Prime, he said: "It's been a while. I am happy. Like the manager said, I’ve scored a couple in the Champions League, of course, but it’s been a while in the Premier League now.

"I’m happy to get the first one and can hopefully just build on that and keep going. I’m happy for the attackers as well today – we showed a lot of character and we showed a lot of confidence as well."

He added: "I am the happiest man alive. You can see with the celebrations. Like Garna [Garnacho] says, we believe until the end, and we showed a lot of character again today."

Erik ten Hag was just one of many to praise the Denmark international in his post-match assessment.

He said: "When strikers don't score, that's a problem but he has a strong character, he is so resilient, so determined, he has a big personality and that is what a striker needs. When you keep investing, the goals will come."
