Napoli forward Rasmus Hojlund continued his hot streak as he netted in Denmark’s 3-1 victory over Greece on Monday at the Parken in Kobenhavn.
Hojlund took his tally to eight goals for club and country since his loan move to Italy from Manchester United, as Joachim Anderson and Mikkel Damsgaard also found the back of the net.

The Danish player made a loan move from Manchester to Italy and has quickly made an impact at the Diego Maradona Stadium, frequently scoring and leading the Naples-based side to victory.
Hojlund has consistently found the back of the net in the renowned Napoli blue this season.
Despite expressing his desire to stay at United and
fight for his place after the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko, Hojlund was forced to seek a move away from the club due to financial constraints. Since his switch to Italy, he has been exceptional.
Denmark leads the group, ahead of Scotland on goal difference, with both teams on 10 points after four games.
Scotland beat Belarus 2-1 with goals from Che Adams and Scott McTominay giving them control at Hampden Park. Gleb Kuchko pulled one back for Belarus in stoppage time.
Former United player McTominay, deemed surplus to requirements, was sold to Napoli a couple of years ago. The Scotsman has since helped the Naples-based side to their fourth Serie A title with his stellar performances under head coach Antonio Conte.
Dutch international Memphis Depay made history on Monday during the Netherlands’ 3-0 victory over Finland at the Ajax Arena in Amsterdam.
Depay scored to extend his goal record for the Oranje to 53 goals, the highest in the nation’s history, and also provided an assist to surpass Wesley Sneijder’s record with 35 assists.
Donyell Malen, Virgil van Dijk, and Cody Gakpo also scored for the Dutch, who lead the group with 16 points and two games remaining.
