Despite that, Rashford became the hero of the match. The Englishman decided the match with a beautiful goal in the second half.
— I understand the decision and I’m happy that we managed to win the match anyway. I was a little late for a meeting. I slept for a long time, and overslept, but that must not happen, Rashford told the AP news agency.
Wolves’ Portuguese goalkeeper José Sá played brilliantly and stopped Manchester United time and time again. But in the 76th minute, he couldn’t resist any longer.
Substitute Marcus Rashford received the ball, walloped Bruno Fernandes and, surrounded by opposing players, slotted the ball in – between Sá’s legs.
In the final minutes, Rashford put the ball in the goal again, but after VAR review the goal was ruled out. This because the ball had touched his arm.
With the win, United climbed up to fourth place in the Premier League.
