Hojlund’s first goal came on the stroke of half-time as he levelled with a superb finish, looping his effort into the bottom corner.
He then ran to the fans and gave them a thumbs up, before he turned it to a thumbs down.
And the Man Utd attacker then capped the celebration with a throat-slitting gesture.
Hojlund’s actions will have caused confusion for a lot of supporters.
Nonetheless, viewers of the recently released Hollywood blockbuster “Gladiator II” will recognize it.
When determining who should die in the Colosseum, Emperor Geta (played by Joseph Quinn) does it.
He indicates that they must be killed by their opponent by lowering his thumb when they are called to death.
One admirer commented, “Gladiator Hojlund, he’s such a mood ,” in response to Hojlund’s celebration.
“Whether you like it or notaura,” another person added.
“The Danish blood ️” was the third person’s response.
“I didn’t think there would be a Gladiator I’d fancy more than Paul Mescal, but Rasmus Hojlund has proven me wrong ,” a fourth person said in response.
Hojlund scored his second goal in 13 appearances in all competitions on Thursday night with his brace.
He will now compete for a starting position against Everton on Sunday, though.
