All the talk pre-match was about Alexis Sanchez but it was Marcus Rashford who gave Manchester United the lead in their FA Cup fourth round clash with Yeovil at Huish Park.

After a first half in which the hosts had battled well, even going close themselves through Omar Sowunmi, they utlimately provided their own downfall just before half-time.

Sanchez fed Rashford on the edge of the Yeovil box but as Tom James came across to get his body between the England man and the ball, the danger looked to have gone.

However, James then dallied on the ball, unsure whether to let it run through to Artur Krysiak in the home goal or to clear it himself, allowing Rashford to nick in and sweep home.
