Superb Rashford free-kick sees United through

Marcus Rashford produced a moment of individual brilliance to secure Manchester United’s place in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals following a third successive away victory that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will believe is a further sign things are finally going his side’s way after a period in which his own future had been questioned.

Chelsea may have dominated long periods of the game as they sought an eighth win on the bounce but United, and in particular Rashford, made the most of opportunities that came their way.
