Marcus Rashford’s sensational golazo desperately undersold by Martin Tyler’s commentary

Mistaken identity

Ben Kiely

At least get the player’s name right, Martin!

Despite what Martin Tyler might think, it was Marcus Rashford who gave Manchester United the lead in their  FA Cup quarter-final replay against West Ham.

The teenager got the game’s opener at the beginning of the second half, rifling the ball into the top corner of the net, giving Darren Randolph absolutely no chance of keeping it out.

It was, by anyone’s standards, a sublime finish after some wonderful skill by the youngster. However, the commentator was unable to muster up any sort of enthusiasm when the ball hit the back of the net.

To add insult to injury, he even announced that Jesse Lingard, not Rashford, scored the wondergoal.
