Marcus Rashford goal vs Brighton: Rashford scores with a beautiful finish as Manchester United doubles the lead.
Manchester United doubled the lead in the game against Brighton as Marcus Rashford scored with a brilliant individual play late in the first half.
Earlier, Paul Pogba gave the side a lead with a coolly taken penalty, after he was taken down inside the box. After scoring the goal, Pogba celebrated the birth of his child in unique celebration as well.
Late in the second half, Diogo Dalot found Rashford with a brilliant half before the Manchester United youngster dribbled past the defender to exquisitely finish the move with a brilliant goal.
Manchester United have taken a 2-0 lead by the time this is written, and look in control for seventh consecutive victory across all competitions.

I’ll say it time and time again. #Rashford Is the real deal. He’s the England equivalent to #mbappe. Put him up top and he’ll score goals. Frightens teams with his pace and touch. @GaryLineker #bbcfootball id love him at arsenal… maybe on loan lol 😂🤔😉

Stunning goal from @MarcusRashford. Great to see him back on track under a manager that embraces his prodigious talent.

Rashford’s sumptuous goal in some way makes up for his questionable fade

Rashford has been in very good form for the last two or three months but has added some unreal finishing in the last few weeks. On this form the likes of Lukaku and Sanchez better get used to the bench. Wonderful stuff.

Month and a half back a certain man reacted like this to Rashford’s miss and said “finishing can’t be taught, you’re born with it. You either have it or you don’t” pic.twitter.com/zQIj8JTLwR

Kylian Mbappé has posters of Marcus Rashford on his David De Gea. That goal was beautiful!
