Casemiro knew nothing about the ball but it struck him last before hitting the back of the net.
Manchester United now lead 3-1 after three quick goals in the second half.
Erik ten Hag’s side really came out in the second half and they’ve blown Lens away.
The first goal came from sublime link-up play between Antony and Marcus Rashford. Then, for the second, Alejandro Garnacho did brilliantly to pick out Antony inside the box.
Garnacho drew a foul on the left flank before United’s third goal. Luke Shaw whipped in a cross to Rashford and his header deflected off Casemiro and past the goalkeeper.
It would be fair to say the Brazilian knew nothing about the ball after it left Rashford’s head.
GOOOOAL! ⚽️@MarcusRashford's header hits @Casemiro and beats Brice Samba to make it 3-1 🙌#MUFC
