Marcus Rashford has dedicated the celebration of his first goal in England’s three-goal victory over Wales to a close friend who recently passed away from cancer.
Manchester United striker Rashford bagged a brace for the Three Lions with Phil Foden also on target. The 25-year-old opened the scoring for Gareth Southgate’s after the break with a swerving free-kick that deceived opposition goalkeeper Danny Ward.
That had followed a drab opening half with few clear-cut opportunities for either side, although Rashford had the best opportunity as he had broken through one-on-one with Ward following a threaded Harry Kane pass, only to be denied by the Leicester shot-stopper.
