Marcus Rashford has been awarded Manchester United’s second goal in the 2-0 Carabao Cup final win over Newcastle.
The striker’s shot on 39 minutes deflected off the outstretched leg of Sven Botman which saw the ball loop over Magpies debutant Loris Karius to give the Reds a two-goal cushion after Casemiro’s header six minutes earlier.
The effort had initially been ruled as a Botman own goal, denying Rashford his 25th goal of the season. The United hero declared with a smile after the match that he’d be claiming it anyway, but he now has his goal officially confirmed by the EFL.
