Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was in excellent form in the 2-0 win against Crystal Palace last night. As well as scoring the opener, the 22-year-old played an integral role in Anthony Martial’s second.
He used stepovers to get away from three Palace defenders in his own half. After exchanging the ball with Bruno Fernandes, his pass then set up Martial to finish off a wonderful move.
Fans on Twitter were praising Rashford for his contribution to the second goal:

Going to Selhurst Park is not the easiest of away trips, even without fans, and United had to work hard to get a crucial three points in the race for a top-four spot.
Rashford has stepped up to the plate recently, scoring three goals and providing four assists in eight matches since the restart. He will want to continue his great form when the Red Devils line up against Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final this weekend.
