EFL rule on second Man Utd goal for Carabao Cup triumph

Manchester United ace Marcus Rashford has been awarded the club's second goal in the Carabao Cup final.

United won 2-0 against Newcastle United at Wembley on Sunday, with two first half strikes proving the difference.

Casemiro opened the scoring, before Rashford had a deflected shot go into the net off Newcastle defender Sven Botman.

While it was initially given as a Botman own goal, the decision was changed to being a Rashford goal post-game.

After the match, Rashford told Sky Sports: "It's a mixture of all the emotions. It's massive for us to be involved in these types of games and it's something we've missed as a club.

"The fact we've come all this way and won it, it's a massive feeling. Hopefully it pushes us now to keep going. There's hunger to add more finals like this. I've been in finals where we've won and lost. It's massive for us as a club and individuals and it's part of our history. We want to keep adding to that."
