Goal.com, a global soccer media outlet, reported on the 27th (Korean time), ‘Garnacho broke Michael Owen’s EPL record with the multiple goals he scored against Aston Villa.’ Garnacho was placed in the second line of attack and started against Aston Villa in the 2023-2024 EPL round 19 home game held at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 27th (Korean time). Manchester United selected Rasmus Høirun as the starting pitcher, followed by Garnazzo Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
A huge unexpected drama unfolded in Manchester United’s last home game of the year. Manchester United allowed two goals early in the game. Goals came from set pieces in both the 21st and 26th minutes of the first half. Manchester United’s defensive line collapsed in vain. The first half ended with Manchester United trailing 0-2.
However, the second half unfolded in a completely different way. Garnacho’s performance was at the center of it all. In the 13th minute of the second half, Garnacho penetrated the box from the right side and pushed in Rashford’s pass from the other side to score a goal. He then scored the equalizer in the 25th minute of the second half. Manchester United, who brought the game back to square one with Garnacho’s one-man show, eventually completed a dramatic comeback victory of 3-2 with Høilun’s comeback winning goal in the 37th minute of the second half.
After the game, it was revealed that Garnacho had set a little-known ‘niche record’. According to Goal.com, thanks to Garnacho scoring multiple goals on this day, he earned the title of ‘youngest player ever to score two or more goals on EPL Boxing Day’. Garnacho shortened his record to 19 years and 178 days. This record was previously held by Michael Owen. Owen scored multiple goals in a game against Newcastle in 1999, becoming the youngest player to score multiple goals on Boxing Day in the EPL at the age of 20 years and 12 days. Garnazzo broke Owen’s record after 24 years.
