Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has explained why Marcus Rashford's goal during Manchester United's win over Liverpool was allowed to stand after a recent rule change.
Erik ten Hag recorded his first victory in charge of United as his side beat Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford on Monday night. Goals either side of half time from Jadon Sancho and Rashford ensured that a late Mohamed Salah goal was merely a consolation for the visitors.
It was an inspired performance from the Reds as they were roared on by a thunderous atmosphere from their fans, amid the backdrop of a protest over the Glazers ownership of the club. The intake of breath as Rashford was played through one-on-one with Alisson in the 53rd minute was audible, as the forward calmly slotted past the Brazilian keeper.
