After Botman’s close-range shot crossed the reach of goalkeeper Loris Karius and put the ball into the net, Rashford celebrated as he believed he had scored his 25th goal of the season for MU.
However, during the halftime break, Sky Sports (England) confirmed Rashford had only scored 24 goals this season. The EFL thinks Rashford’s shot would not have gone into the net if Botman hadn’t touched the ball. Rashford has never scored in a major final before and his wait continues.
Meanwhile, Botman became the fourth player in history to score an own goal in a League Cup final. The last player to own an own goal after Botman in the League Cup final was Liverpool legend Steven Garrard in 2005.
Despite efforts to prevent Rashford’s shot from accidentally hitting defender Botman’s own goal, former players Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, who commented on the match live for Sky Sports, both thought that goalkeeper Karius should have been. have to do better in that situation.

MU legend Gary Neville said: “There was a save, it was not Marcus Rashford’s best goal, but goalkeeper Karius fell too early from Rashford’s shot. Then the hand. Karius’s couldn’t reach the ball and let it go over his head.”
Neville asked Liverpool legend Carragher: “There was a lot of attention when Karius played, do you think Karius could have saved that situation?” The former Liverpool defender replied: “Yes, Karius should have saved it, of course he should. It’s easy to look back on, and certainly given the presence and stature of goalkeeper Nick Pope. suspended from playing the final), I think he will solve that problem easily.
I think the biggest worry for Karius or any Newcastle fan with this goalkeeper is his lack of football matches, not what happened in a certain game four or five years ago. . Certainly Karius will lack sharpness and confidence.”

Karius once made a serious mistake to throw the ball directly at Karim Benzema’s feet, causing the ball to bounce back in the Champions League final Liverpool lost to Real Madrid before.
Meanwhile, although his goal was denied by the EFL, Marcus Rashford will certainly want to get back on the scoring path as soon as possible. MU will play again in the middle of the week when they take on West Ham in the fifth round of the FA Cup, before clashing with Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League at the weekend.
