Manchester United supporters saluted Marcus Rashford's determination and endeavour after he scored his eighth goal of the season to bring his side level against Aston Villa at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening.
After a lifeless first 45 minutes, which saw the two sides head into the half-time interval with the scores level at 0-0, the game exploded into life after the restart. Ollie Watkins fired Villa in front before Anthony Martial brought the Reds level just a minute later.
More questionable United defending allowed Villa to retake the lead 12 minutes later, this time through an unfortunate Diogo Dalot own-goal. However, the Reds, to their credit, managed to draw level for a second time just six minutes later through Rashford.

The attacker, fresh from being included in Gareth Southgate's England squad for the World Cup, picked up a loose ball inside the penalty area, danced past Tyrone Mings and showed tremendous strength and courage to hold off Calum Chambers and stroke the ball home. He was leaning backwards as he eventually pulled the trigger, which highlighted just how determined he was to ensure he added to his growing collection of goals.
It was an excellent finish from the academy graduate. It was also one that showcased his desire to return to his top level. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at what the fans had to say in response.
United eventually completed a stunning comeback victory, earning a place in the fourth round of the cup with a 4-2 win.
