He also completed one dribble and one key pass. Hojlund also contributed defensively, winning a total of six duels in the match.
Then Gore
There was disappointment for Gore when he was substituted with an injury in Rotherham United’s 4–0 win over Exeter City.
He completed 91% of his passes and won 100% of his tackles and ground duels while on the field. Gore left the field after 40 minutes holding his shoulder, and Manchester United and Rotherham are both hoping the injury is not too serious.
Ethan Ennis
Ennis had a rare disappointing afternoon in Fleetwood Town’s 1-2 defeat to Notts County.
He failed to find a teammate with any of his teammates eight cross attempts. He also completed only 68% of his passes.
However, Ennis was dangerous on the ball and completed two of his three dribbling attempts.
Jack Moorhuis
The Irish midfielder played the final 22 minutes of Leyton Orient’s 0-1 defeat to Port Vale.
He completed 82% of his passes and had one shot on target.
Moorhouse also managed to carry the ball onto the field once.
Enzo-Bribal Enzok
He played the last twelve minutes of FC Lausanne’s 1-2 defeat against Winterthur in the Swiss league.
The young attacker had one shot that hit the target, but he couldn’t find a late equalizer for his side.
