FA Cup: Manchester United 3 - 1 Everton
Marcus Rashford scored again as Manchester United increased the pressure on Everton boss Frank Lampard with a deserved FA Cup victory at Old Trafford.
United got off to a great start but Everton fought back
Antony turned home Rashford's far-post cross but had the character to fight back. Conor Coady rammed home a 13th-minute equaliser when David de Gea calamitously allowed Neal Maupay's apparently harmless cross to roll through his legs.
Rashford shines again
Lampard's players continued to battle hard. However, once some brilliant approach play from Rashford had deceived Coady into turning the forward's cross into his own net, the visitors' character alone was not enough.
After Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a goal ruled out for offside, Rashford kept his nerve to beat England international team-mate Jordan Pickford from the penalty spot deep into injury time.
Reaction
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane spoke about Marcus Rashford on ITV: "The beauty of tonight, is that is what I expect from him. I'm not surprised by his performance tonight. He is becoming one of main players for Manchester United. Can he get them back to competing for trophies?
