RASHFORD THE HEAD MASTER

NO wonder Marcus Rashford rolled out the trademark celebration and pointed to his temple after doing emphatic justice to Luke Shaw's assist.

It was Rashford's head Rashford's cool, calm head, Rashford's accomplished head - that won this game for Manchester United and swept the way clear for Alejandro Garnacho's late party-piece.

Rashford's statistics are impressive, 13 goals in 15 games since being scandalously misused by Gareth Southgate in Qatar. But what is equally impressive is how he seems to have developed his all-round game and how he is adding extra dimensions to his already-dynamic game.

Let's be honest, while he was far from alone, Rashford had endured a fairly dismal afternoon until Shaw shaped to persuade a cross into the Leeds area 10 minutes before the end of normal time. Out of keeping with pretty much everything that had occurred previously, Rashford timed his run to perfection, Shaw delivered to perfection, and the England striker executed the scoring header to perfection.
