header and United win it back and
there'll be no goal inside the opening
12 seconds but there might be for United
rashford all the way through fortunately
Cal Walker is quicker than rashford

interesting Michael well it didn't look
like he was going to get there did he

his arm because it looked like rashford

there's a there's a better contact
Martinez's arm just comes across it's
