Man Utd 3 - 2 Arsenal: Rashford double sinks Gunners
TEENAGE striker Marcus Rashford continued the dream start to his Manchester United career, scoring two goals and setting up another in yesterday's Premier League win over title-chasing Arsenal.
Manchester United - 3
Rashford 29,32; Herrera 65
Arsenal - 2
Welbeck 40, Özil 69
Only playing because of United’s chronic injury crisis, 18-year-old Rashford marked his league debut by scoring a quick-fire double in the first half – he slammed home the opener in the 29th minute and added a powerful header three minutes later. The two goals came three days after a double in the Europa League against FC Midtjylland on his debut.
Former United striker Danny Welbeck replied for Arsenal, before Rashford set up Ander Herrera for a shot that deflected in off Laurent Koscielny.
Mezut Özil pulled one back for 3-2 on 69 minutes but United hung on to move three points off the top four and dent Arsenal’s title hopes.
