Anthony Martial again listed his name on the scoreboard before the end of the first half. Martial grabbed Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s accurate pass.
Anthony Martial again became a nightmare for the visitors after scoring his third goal in the 74th minute. Working with Rashford, Martial calmly steered the ball into the goal in a one-on-one situation with the keeper.
