📊 Højlund betters Man United goal tally with latest brace for Napoli | OneFootball

Rasmus Højlund has enjoyed a promising start to life at Napoli following his loan switch in the summer.

The striker was once again on the scoresheet in their clash with Cremonese as his first-half brace gave them a deserved two-goal lead at the break.

Højlund initially opened the scoring with less than 15 minutes played to make it five in Serie A this term, after a long-range effort from a teammate was deflected into his path for a tap-in.

Then, on the brink of half-time, a cross into the box wasn't dealt with by the Cremonese defence, and it broke kindly for the Dane, who struck the ball into the net on the half volley.

Today's goals mean Højlund has now scored six times in the league, which is more than he managed in the Premier League at United in 2024/25. He's also reached that milestone in 20 fewer games.

Can Højlund continue his goalscoring form in the second half of the season and help Napoli to more silverware?
