Both the victory and the goal scorer was befitting for the occasion of a special 85th anniversary of United’s uninterrupted run of having a player who came through their youth development programme either in their starting line-up or on the bench.

Having been at United since he was 7, Rashford’s 100th goal for the club couldn’t have come at a more appropriate time.

The 24 year old’s goals wasn’t all that stood out at Old Trafford, as David de Gea made a couple of excellent saves to ensure United kept all three points to themselves. 

A big moment! 👏

The win took Erik Ten Hag’s side’s unbeaten run to eight games and moved them to Fifth on the EPL log.
