The goal could not be separated from the role of Rashford who provided assists. Antony explained that he believed Rashford could deliver a mature pass when he managed to find space and a comfortable position to shoot.
"Bruno Fernandes had the ball and then he passed the ball to Jadon Sancho. Sancho touched Marcus and I believe he can send the ball either way," he said.
“And when Marcus, being a very intelligent player, realized I could run, I just left. He slipped the ball well."
Antony who received the bait was also very confident with his instincts. He puts the ball where he wants it.
