[골닷컴] Reporter Kim Dong-ho = It is known that Marcus Rashford was excluded from the selection against Wolverhampton due to violating team rules. But Rashford redeemed himself by scoring the winning goal.
Manchester United won 1-0 thanks to Rashford’s final shot in the 31st minute of the second half in the away game against Wolverhampton in the 2022/23 season Premier League Round 17 held at Molineux Stadium on the night of the 31st (Korean time). With three points, Manchester United moved up to fourth place in the league, overtaking Tottenham.
In a 0-0 situation, Manchester United activated the first goal. The main character was Rashford. Rashford, who was substituted for an internal disciplinary measure, finished with his right foot after taking the ball to the gate in the 31st minute of the second half when the Wolverhampton defense loosened up.
Rashford, who received Fernandez’s pass, broke the Wolverhampton defense with his signature solid dribble. He showed concentration even in the opponent’s dense defense and continued to score in three consecutive games.
Wolverhampton’s counterattack continued in the second half, but the expected tie score did not come out. The match ended with Manchester United’s 1-0 victory, and they succeeded in entering fourth place.
After the match, it became clear which rule Rashford had broken. Rashford, who was interviewed, calmly explained why he was excluded from the selection, the reason being ‘oversleep’.
He said through ‘BT Sports’, “I was a little late for the team meeting because I overslept. It is clearly a team rule, and I think it is a mistake that can happen.” Anyway, I’m happy to win the game,” he said.
