Rasmus Hojlund fired Manchester United to a late 2-1 win at Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League on Thursday, while Tottenham were held to a stalemate at Rangers.

Matej Vydra opened the scoring three minutes after half-time to stun United, before substitute Hojlund scored twice in the last half-hour to seize a vital three points for the English club.

A top-eight finish will see United qualify for the round of 16, while finishing ninth to 24th will earn them a playoff tie to reach that stage.

Spurs drew 1-1 with Rangers in Glasgow. Hamza Igamane struck for Rangers, while Dejan Kulusevski brought Spurs back level.
