Video: Marcus Rashford fires Man United into lead with classy penalty v Bournemouth

Manchester United have taken the lead through Marcus Rashford from the spot against Premier League outfit Bournemouth.

Having seen themselves go 1-0 down in a shock opener by Junior Stanilas after just 16-minutes the Reds have fought hard to get themselves back in front.

Youngster Mason Greenwood levelled proceedings up on 29-minutes with a stunning strike and just five-minutes later Ole Gunnar Solskjaer saw his side awarded a penalty after a Bournemouth handball in the box.

United attacker Rashford took over Bruno Fernandes’ normal duty of penalty kicks presumably in an attempt to end his minor goal draught.

The young Englishman stepped up and cooly tucked it away. United lead as we head into half-time.
