Manchester United issue statement on Marcus Rashford goal vs Newcastle

Marcus Rashford has admitted that he achieved a lifelong dream on Sunday after it was confirmed that Manchester United's second goal in the Carabao Cup final was awarded to him.

Initially, the strike at Wembley went down as an own goal from Sven Botman as Rashford's strike deflected off the defender and over Loris Karius in the Newcastle goal. However, upon review by the EFL, the decision was made to award the in-form striker the goal instead.

The strike marked Rashford's 25th goal of an impressive season and late last night, the 25-year-old took to social media to mark the occasion. He tweeted: "A moment you dream of all your life. Scoring for the club you support in a cup final. That one is for the fans."
