Marcus Rashford sheepishly laughed off his punishment from Erik ten Hag with a smile after scoring the winning goal from the bench for Manchester United in their 1-0 victory over Wolves. The forward was dropped for the trip to Molineux with Ten Hag citing the move as 'discplinary reasons.'
The Red Devils were frustrated by Julien Lopetegui's side in the first half before Rashford's introduction. He then popped up to score the only goal of the game. The 25-year-old has been on top form this season with six goals and three assists in the league, more than he managed in the entirety of the last campaign.
Ten Hag's bold decision to drop Rashford may have pleased top four rivals Chelsea and Tottenham - whilst the gap to Arsenal was cut to eight points at the end of the game - but was proved to be the right call after his matchwinning strike.
