Marcus Rashford goal Vs Chelsea: Watch Rashford thumping penalty against the Blues to open the score

Marcus Rashford goal Vs Chelsea: Watch Rashford thumping a penalty against the Blues to open the score in the epic Premier League clash.

Manchester United are playing against their domestic rivals Chelsea to open their Premier League campaign this summer, and in the first phase of the game they got successful in changing the scoreboard.

Marcus Rashford shot the ball inside the net on a penalty to gain a significant advantage over Chelsea. The English striker was fouled by Kurt Zouma in the 18-yard-box, as Chelse defender caught him, while Rashford proceeding towards the net.

Zouma’s physical charge on Rashford was a clear penalty, and the match referee opined the same and awarded the penalty to Manchester United to compensate the foul.

It was Rashford itself, who stepped up to the occasion and opened Manchester United’s scoring tally in the new Premier League season. The 21-year-old striker then made a confident strike and sent the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga with the left top-corner placement to make the score 1-0 in the 18th minute of the game.

With this, Manchester United have gained certain momentum in the game, and are dominating Frank Lampard’s side since then. It is a comforting sight to see for the Red Devils’ fans, who recently saw a disastrous season by their club.

Noe, Ole Solskjaer side has to advance their lead further to seal the three points tonight. On the other hand, nothing is over for Chelsea, as a lot of time is left for them to out-beat the hosts tonight.
