Marcus Rashford responds as U-turn sees him awarded second Man Utd goal at Wembley

Marcus Rashford has been officially awarded Manchester United's second goal in the Carabao Cup final - after it was initially marked down as a Sven Botman own goal.

The Red Devils stormed to their first silverware since 2017 with a 2-0 win over Newcastle United after a quick-fire first-half double saw them seize control of the game. Casemiro headed in an opener before Rashford was set free in the 39th minute and saw an effort deflect off Sven Botman and into the net.

Rashford wheeled away in celebration and was quickly joined by his United teammates, although it was announced on Sky Sports coverage at half-time that the goal had been awarded as a Botman own goal by the EFL. However, long after the game had finished, Manchester United were informed Rashford had eventually been awarded the goal.
