Marcus Rashford Breaks 189-Day Scoring Drought in Premier League

The English forward's goal against Liverpool marked a significant milestone

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has ended his 189-day Premier League goal drought by scoring in his side's 2-0 victory over Liverpool on Monday. Rashford netted United's second goal in the 53rd minute, coolly slotting home from close range after Bruno Fernandes unselfishly squared the ball to him. It was Rashford's first Premier League goal since he scored against Brighton & Hove Albion in April 2022.

Rashford's goal a sign of progress

Rashford has struggled for form in recent months, but his goal against Liverpool could be a sign that he is finding his feet under new manager Erik ten Hag. The 25-year-old has often been played out of position or from the bench since Ten Hag took over in the summer, but he has been given a more regular run in the team in recent weeks.

Rashford's goal against Liverpool was his fifth in all competitions this season, and it will give him confidence as he looks to rediscover his best form. The England international has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford in recent months, but he has always maintained that he wants to stay at the club and fight for his place.

Rashford's goal helps United move into the top four

Rashford's goal against Liverpool helped United move into the top four of the Premier League, two points ahead of Tottenham Hotspur, who have a game in hand.

United are now just five points behind leaders Arsenal, who they face in a crucial match at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. A win for United would see them move into second place, and it would also be a major statement of intent in the title race.
