Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has become the first player to score two goals for the club in back-to-back matches since Wayne Rooney in 2012.
The Frenchman scored a brace for the second match running in the Red Devils' 4-1 victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford.
The 25-year-old on Boxing Day was on also on target against Huddersfield Town in the 3-1 win and has become the first United player to achieve the feat in six years.
Former England striker Rooney netted a double against Reading and scored twice a few days later in United's 3-2 away with city neighbours Manchester City.
Pogba's first goal against Eddie Howie's side was a well met cross from a brilliant display of skill from Marcus Rashford on the right as the Frenchman slid-in from close range.
The World Cup winner grabbed his second as he was on hand to met a well time cross from Ander Herrera to head home 28 minutes later.
Before Pogba got back his into his scoring form against Huddesrfield, the former Juventus star had only managed just one goal in 13 Premier League matches as his relationship with Jose Mourinho worsened.
But the United academy graduate has hit top form since Mourinho's was sacked increasing his tally for the season to seven.
