Rashford intercepted Thomas Partey’s pass in the Gunners’ half and then received the ball from Bruno Fernandes.

The United star then showed a beautiful piece of skill to beat Partey and open up the space.

He then unleashed a venomous early strike low and into the bottom corner, giving Aaron Ramsdale no chance.

After beating his England team-mate, Rashford ran across to the corner flag and performed his new celebration – pointing to his temple – as he stood motionless in front of the home Arsenal fans.

The goal was Rashford’s ninth in all competitions since club football resumed after the World Cup – more than any other player in Europe’s top five leagues.

It also ended a nightmare record of 26 away Premier League starts without a goal, dating back to December 2020.

And plenty of football fans on Twitter were understandably delighted by the No10’s latest finish.

One said: “Rashford is on fire!”

Another wrote: “Marcus Rashford, a different breed this season. What a goal!”

And Gary Lineker added: “Stunning goal from @MarcusRashford. A thing of beauty.”

But United’s joy lasted just seven minutes.

Arsenal recycled a short corner well with Eddie Nketiah heading in from Granit Xhaka’s inch-perfect cross to level the top-of-the-table clash.

Bukayo Saka fired the league leaders in front with a curling effort from range after half-time but Lisandro Martinez headed in for 2-2.

Nketiah had the final say, though, with his instinctive flick in the 90th minute securing a dramatic three points.
