United who were solid in defense went into the break with a slim 1 goal advantage which wouldn't last long as Bukayo Saka would hit one back for the visiting table toppers. It was another left footed shot that would draw matters level. Manchester United would however sermon a response via Rashford who was released to run by a defense splitting Bruno Fernandes through ball.it was just a matter of time before Rashford added his second and United's third after an unselfish Eriksen squared off for Rashford to score one past a desperate Aron Ramsdale despite a sliding effort by Ben White to keep out the united number 10.
