This was Rashford’s first league start since the turn of the year and, on this evidence, maybe the break has done him good. He has struggled at times this season and his return to form is certainly well-timed from the perspective of Gareth Southgate. Perhaps that was because of the way United defended so deeply in the second half, protecting themselves against the counterattack. Their nervousness in the first half was unusual when they have scored even more away goals this season than Manchester City. The problem for Liverpool was that Karius was now out of position and the ball was rolling invitingly towards Rashford.
