Manchester United youngster Joe Hugill’s Wigan Athletic career burst into life with two goals against Bristol Rovers in his side’s impressive 4-0 away win.
The English striker struggled last year at Burton Albion, only scoring one goal in 18 league appearances.
Life at Wigan has started much better as he now has three goals in seven games and three strikes in his last two matches.
The youngster scored a penalty goal against Morecambe at the start of the month, followed by two well-taken strikes from close range.
He put his side ahead in the 20th minute and later doubled their joy with another close-range goal in the 40th minute.
Sofascore gave him a rating of 7.7, as he scored a brace and made one key pass in the game.
He could have easily scored a hat-trick, but he did manage to get both chances on target.
He had 25 touches of the ball, completed one dribble attempt, but struggled with his passing accuracy.
Hugill showed his ability in the air by winning two out of three aerial duels and making two clearances.
After the game, the 20-year-old expressed his delight with his goals and praised his teammates for their contribution.
Hugill stated that he was pleased with his performance but is determined to continue scoring more goals.
He mentioned his enjoyment at Wigan and his determination to succeed in the league.
He will be hoping to maintain his fine form and contribute significantly to the team’s success this season.
Next, the Latics will face Lincoln City in their upcoming match.
