David Beckham congratulated Marcus Rashford for scoring in England’s 6-2 win over Iran in their 2022 World Cup opener on Monday.
The Manchester United striker scored his first goal in a major international tournament within 50 seconds of coming off the bench with 20 minutes of the match left to play. The 25-year-old cut inside from the right to slide the ball home to put England 5-1 up.
He looked lively throughout his cameo, which was his first England outing since missing a penalty in the final of Euro 2020 last year. He sold several dummies to defenders during his time on the pitch and but for a block might have had a second goal to his name.
