Why Man Utd's Marcus Rashford pointed to sky in celebration of England World Cup goal vs Wales

Marcus Rashford was the star of the show in England's 3-0 win over Wales on Tuesday evening which secured the Three Lions qualification to the World Cup last-16. The Manchester United forward netted twice in the victory either side of Phil Foden scoring his first tournament goal.

After a tense first half, Rashford broke the deadlock five minutes after half time with a stunning free kick before Harry Kane delivered a beautiful pass for Phil Foden to double England's lead just minutes later. Rashford then bagged his second latching onto Kalvin Phillips' ball over the Wales back line where he cut inside Connor Roberts and smashed the ball through the legs of Danny Ward to seal England's spot as group-winners.

England winning 6-2 against Iran in their World Cup opener saw Gareth Southgate make no changes to his starting team for their second outing against the USA.
