      Marcus Rashford breaks incredible Cristiano Ronaldo record with stunning goal in Man Utd’s Europa League win

      by

      MARCUS RASHFORD’S crazy goal-streak just got crazier!The Manchester United striker belted another special to sink Real Betis AND break Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of 24 European goals for the Red Devils.

      Rashford’s feat split United fans – because some pointed out that all-time great Ronaldo mainly scored in the Champions League.
      But social media was as one when it came to saluting the England star’s incredible form.
      Rashford smashed his 25th European goal, a long-ranger into the bottom corner out of nothing to earn a 1-0 win in Spain and a 5-1 aggregate route to the Europa League quarter-finals.
      And of his 27 United goals this season, 19 have come in 24 games since the World Cup.

      Man fans posted to claim the 25-year-old was “learning from the Goat” – Ronaldo.
      One even claimed: “He’s already a bigger legend in my book.”
      That might be a controversial suggestion, given that five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ron won the the Prem three times and the Champions League once in his glorious first spell spell at Old Trafford.
      And another observer posted: “Heading on the right path but problem is how many Champions League games has Rashford played and how many has Ronaldo played.”

      This post made a similar point: “Ronaldo’s goals led to a Champions League – bloody priceless that.”
      Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag hailed Rashford’s confidence – as he lashed his winner soon after a horror miss.
      The Old Trafford boss said: “That tells you something about the team’s performance, and it tells you something about him.
      “If he keeps the focus and makes sure he has the energy, the way he has to play in that system and style, he will get in scoring positions.
      “Then it’s about him – he has the ability to finish.
      “Rashy had some chances before and he missed some, but he kept his belief.
      “But at this level, you don’t create five or six chances in a game, so one of the two has to be in.” More

      Arsenal 1 Sporting 1 (agg 3-3 aet, pens 3-5): Gunners crash OUT of Europa League as Martinelli misses crucial spot-kick

      Gabriel Martinelli was left heart-broken when his shoot-out penalty was saved by keeper Antonio Adan.
      And though Arsenal still have the chance to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points on Sunday, Arteta will still be counting the cost of going so strong in a competition which has never been top of the club’s priorities.
      For first-half injuries to Takehiro Tomiyasu and William Saliba means they are now facing a defensive dilemma just when they need all hands to the pump.
      And with Gabriel Jesus only lasting 45 minutes before being replaced by Leandro Trossard, many fans will be wondering why Arteta took so many risks.

      Yet it wasn’t so much the injuries as the nature of this defeat which will be causing Arteta sleepless nights.
      Just as in the first leg in Lisbon last week, his team were unable to hold on to an early lead and were repeatedly exposed by the raw pace of Sporting’s forwards.
      And while it might have required an extraordinary 46-yard equaliser to drag the former Portuguese Champions back into this tie, no-one can deny that they deserved their place in the quarter-final draw.
      In the end it took a penalty shoot-out to finally separate two teams who gave their absolute all in this relentless battle of wills.

      Aaron Ramsdale went the right way for all five Sporting pens but just couldn’t keep any of them out of his net.
      And though Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard all hit the back of the net, Martinelli’s miss was an agonising way for Arsenal to exit the competition.
      Yet no-one could have seen such a dramatic finale coming when Arsenal took the lead in the 19th minute after Jorginho’s piercing through ball had sent Gabriel Martinelli haring in on goal.
      And though Adan was able to keep out the young Brazilian’s low shot with an outstretched boot, he was powerless to prevent Xhaka’s follow-up thumped into the roof of the net.
      Jesus thought he should have had a penalty when he was upended by Matheus Reis but had strayed marginally offside before he raced into the area.
      And he was out of luck again in the 30th minute when he weaved his way past three defenders but was thwarted by another fine reaction save from Adan.
      Yet it was never straightforward for Arsenal and they were fortunate to escape a mix-up between Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ramsdale following a long punt out by Adan.
      While both men left it to the other to deal with the threat, Marcus Edwards was allowed to get a clear sight of goal before Zinchenko finally stepped in to block.

      There was another lack of communication in the ranks shortly before half-time and this time Jermiah St. Juste was able to charge right through the heart of the Arsenal defence before firing over from the edge of the area.
      Arsenal seemed intent on sleepwalking their way into trouble and sure enough they found themselves deep in the brown stuff in the 62nd minute when they were hit with an absolute bolt from the blue.
      Xhaka and Jorginho were unable to retain possession but there still seemed little danger when Pedro Goncalves took possession on the halfway line.
      But the Portuguese international clearly had other ideas and spotting Ramsdale off his line sent the ball soaring over the Arsenal keeper’s head from an astonishing 46 yards out.
      It was a remarkable goal by anyone’s standards and let’s hope that Kim doesn’t think that kind of thing happens every week.
      But if Ramsdale was caught out on that one, he more than made amends with a huge save ten minutes later when Edwards was in on goal again.

      That was enough to take the tie into extra-time, when Trossard had a shot tipped against a post, and Rob Holding headed just over.
      But even when Manuel Ugarte was shown a second yellow for a shocking challenge on Saka, Arsenal couldn’t take advantage of their numerical superiority to avoid the lottery of a shoot-out. More

      Arsenal player ratings: Ramsdale impresses despite conceding from halfway line as Holding struggles after Saliba knock

      GABRIEL MARTINELLI’s missed penalty saw Arsenal dumped out of the Europa League following a shootout.A staggering Pedro Goncalves equaliser from the centre-circle cancelled out Granit Xhaka’s opener before Nuno Santos delivered the knockout blow in the shoot-out to dump Arsenal out of Europe.

      After a slow start had the home support on edge, not helped by the early loss of Takehiro Tomiyasu to injury, Arsenal started to click.
      Fabio Vieira found his way in down the right but correctly saw his shout for a penalty denied. Moments later Jorginho found Gabriel Martinelli with an inspired through ball.
      The Brazilian raced through one-on-one but fired straight Antonio Adan in the Sporting goal. Xhaka was quicker on his feet than any in green and white, smashing a low strike home to nudge the hosts ahead.
      Arsenal dropped far deeper after their goal with Sporting’s forwards exposing them with their pace on a number of occasions.

      The Portuguese side threw everything at their hosts following the break, piling the pressure on before bagging a freak goal.
      Jorginho and Xhaka exchanged a sloppy one-two in midfield, allowing Goncalves to steal in before eyeing up a vacant Arsenal goal and lifting the ball just over Ramsdale from a staggering 46 yards.
      Arteta sent on Thomas Partey and Bukayo Saka but neither could prevent them from needing extra time.
      The former almost flashes in a stunning winner after sub Leandro Trossard had seen an extra-time effort tipped onto the post.

      Gabriel saw two headers denied late on before Manuel Ugarte was shown a second yellow for a reckless challenge on Saka.
      There was not enough time for Arsenal to use their man advantage, and Sporting then punished them from 12 yards.
      Arsenal converted three spot kicks before Martinelli missed and Santos capitalised to send his side through to the last eight.
      Aaron Ramsdale – 6
      Arguably Arsenal’s best player despite the way he conceded the equaliser.
      BETTING SPECIAL – BEST FOOTBALL BETTING SITES IN THE UK
      The England man was just about staying sharp and focused as chaos unfolded ahead of him following injuries disrupting the back line.
      But he was drawn into the mess after being caught well off his line for the stunning Sporting leveller.
      Ramsdale made a brave and sharp save with his face from Marcus Edwards minutes later to keep it level and recovered well from the embarrassing moment, though should have done better with a couple of the Sporting penalties.
      Takehiro Tomiyasu – n/a
      Forced off through injury inside ten minutes.
      William Saliba – 6
      Another, potentially more serious blow for the Gunners with the Frenchman limping off following the opening goal.
      Hadn’t had too much to do before then.
      Gabriel – 6
      Had to battle to hold things together for the most part, getting through his own injury scare early in the first half.
      Was only able to watch the equaliser sail over his head and past Ramsdale, but kept things tighter at the back from there on and twice could have won it in extra time when his powerful header forced a flying save from Adan.
      Oleksandr Zinchenko – 5
      Quickly rallied the troops following Goncalves’ equaliser and spent most of the evening holding on in a non-stop battle with former Tottenham man Marcus Edwards.
      Struggled to take control of the game in his usual role moving inside from full-back.
      Jorginho – 5
      Tested the Sporting defence with an early ball over the top for Jesus early on before cutting them open to find Martinelli in the build up to the opening goal.
      Struggled to get a grip with the Sporting midfield from there on, however, and was caught out messing about with the ball before losing it to hand over possession before Sporting’s goal.
      Granit Xhaka – 6
      The captain was the sharpest in the box to race onto the loose ball following an effort from Martinelli and fire the Gunners ahead.
      Poor ball back to Jorginho on halfway allowing Sporting to pinch possession and bag their equaliser.
      Fabio Vieira – 5
      A lively start petered out very quickly. Wasn’t doing too much to get back and when Arsenal were on the ball he wasn’t holding onto it long enough to give the boys at the back a breather.
      Tried his luck with a low free-kick but sent it straight at the goalkeeper before wasting a golden chance moments into extra time.
      Reiss Nelson – 5
      Tracked back to help out the back line well and often but was sloppy on the ball and offered precious little going forwards.
      Gabriel Martinelli – 4
      A good run the in the build up to the opener, which he should have tucked away himself.
      Could have offered far more support to Zinchenko with Sporting’s pacey forwards causing trouble.
      Proved to be a thorn in the side for Sporting on the break throughout the second half, causing problems on the ball and frustrating them by going down at every opportunity.
      Sent a poor penalty in the perfect spot for Adan to palm it away.
      Gabriel Jesus – 6
      Looked sharp and utterly desperate to score early on.A few good touches and runs, but certainly more to come as he gets back up to speed.
      Arsenal lost a lot of confidence on the ball without their star man.
      Substitutes
      Ben White (on for Tomiyasu, 8 mins) – 6
      Needed to be more aggressive up against the Sporting forwards, allowing them far too much time to cause problems.
      Drove forward when he could but was largely wasteful with the ball.
      Rob Holding (on for Saliba, 21 mins) – 3
      Looked off it as soon as he came on for the injured Frenchman. Couldn’t cope with the pace of Sporting’s forwards and struggled to stay organised at the back.
      Twice missed headers from long balls which could have caused real trouble for Ramsdale behind him.
      Leandro Trossard (on for Jesus, 45 mins) – 5
      Offered preciously little after being sent on to lead the line. Struggled to cause any real trouble for the Sporting defenders and never looks the best option to hold the ball up and bring others into play.
      Fluffed his lines after being sent through on goal by a horror back-pass from Sporting’s Youssef Chermiti, his effort being tipped onto the post.
      Thomas Partey (on for Jorginho, 66 mins) – 6
      Helped calm things down after replacing the former Chelsea man, taking the pressure off the back line and giving his side much more control on the ball.
      Read More on The Sun
      Bukayo Saka (on for Nelson, 66 mins) – 6
      Helped wrestle control back and brought some life to a limp attacking display in the second half but failed to have the real sort of impact required.
      Martin Odegaard (on for Vieira, 100 mins) – 7
      Pumped up the crowd and called for more as soon as he was sent on and tried to lift the players in the same way. Smart penalty. More

      Things then went from bad to worse for Mikel Arteta as star centre-back William Saliba had to be substituted.
      Rob Holding took his place but Arsenal fans are concerned the injuries could derail their title bid.
      They took to Twitter to voice their worries with one Gooner saying: “Saliba and Tomiyasu getting injured in first 20min is really scary for Arsenal’s title hopes.”
      Another added: “Too many injuries man. Tomiyasu I’m okay with but Saliba is title challenge ending if bad.”

      Ahead of United’s visit to Real Betis Ten Hag had compared his side’s injury record to Arsenal, revealing he has only had a fully fit squad once this season.
      He said: “Man City home [2-1 victory in January], it was the only time this season [that United had a fully fit squad], in other times, every time, every game is a player suspended, injured, illness. So we have to deal with it well, of course, you hope.
      “I see Arsenal, they almost have all the time a squad that is totally available.”
      Arsenal’s miserable night was compounded by their penalty shoot-out defeat to Sporting, with Gabriel Martinelli missing the decisive spot-kick that allowed their opponents to progress.
      And Arteta was frustrated by having to throw his gameplan out the window so early in the game.
      He said: “That happens. It happened with Tommy and Saliba and then we were really restricted to do the changes because we only had one window to do them and only one sub left.
      “We had to accommodate that and the team got better and better with the changes, especially in the last 15 minutes of the normal time and then we had big chances to finish it off but we didn’t do it.

      Man Utd ratings: Harry Maguire stakes claim for regular spot but Fred wasteful in midfield as Red Devils edge past Betis

      MANCHESTER UNITED put in a professional display against Real Betis to see themselves into the Europa League quarter-finals. Marcus Rashford’s second half thunderbolt put the tie beyond any doubt and sealed a 5-1 aggregate win.

      However, United did not make it easy for themselves early on, with Juanmi firing narrowly wide and Joaquin hitting the post in the opening 12 minutes.
      United eventually grew into the game, but failed to thrill with a display often too slow and lacking in on ball quality – particularly in the first half.
      The 4-1 first leg score meant Erik ten Hag’s side did not need to push the issue.
      But it didn’t stop them being up for the fight as the game descended into chaos with a number of meaty challenges being thrown in.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Here’s how SunSport’s Tony Robertson rated the Red Devils.
      David De Gea – 6
      The usual distribution problems persisted throughout this tie but swept up well behind the defence whenever the line was broken or a loose ball created.
      When De Gea he was worked with his hands he handled the ball well, claiming a number of crosses and making a strong punching save from a corner.
      Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 7
      The stronger of the two full-backs in both an attacking and defensive sense. Strong on the ball kept the attack down his side relatively quiet.
      Most read in Europa League
      A tidy but quiet display which once again reminds Ten Hag of his quality from right-back. Subbed after 75 mins.
      Harry Maguire – 8
      Replaced Raphael Varane in the starting XI and looked assured both on and off the ball.
      The more combative in stepping up out of the two centre-backs, Maguire put in a number of handy blocks on top of an aerially strong display.
      Lisandro Martinez – 8
      A quietly good game for the Argentine.
      Showed off a good range of passing and dealt with everything which came his way both when stepping up and sweeping behind Maguire, whom he berated at one stage in the first half.
      Tyrell Malacia – 6
      Tactical switch from Luke Shaw at left back and gave United a different option in build up by moving inside as an extra midfielder.
      Most danger seemed to come down his side, and defensive output was generally far from stalwart.
      Casemiro – 6
      In the team following suspension from the next four domestic fixtures but was back in the thick of the action tonight.
      He and Fred too often guilty of leaving holes in the United defence for Betis to play through.
      Fred – 5
      Endured a torrid time in the opening stages. Skipped past in dribbles on too many occasions and guilty of a number of needless turnovers, but retained his usual enthusiasm throughout.
      Usually thrives in a chaotic game such as this but was a shadow of his usual self. Subbed after 60mins.
      Facundo Pellistri – 7

      Offered United an outlet on the right side and was effective with the ball at his feet despite the limited occasions this occurred. Handed a ridiculous yellow card in the 30th minute.
      Responsible for United’s most dangerous chance in the first half with his volley striking the post. Overall did well on his first start for the club.
      Bruno Fernandes – 7
      Grew and got better as the match went on. Switched the play well throughout and was his typical tigerish self when called into defensive action.
      Played in Rashford early in the second half but the Englishman was unable to finish before doing the same for substitute Sabitzer. Subbed after 68mins to avoid suspension.
      Marcus Rashford – 7

      Back on the left wing today. More reserved involvement in build up but looked sharp when on the ball in the final third despite missing a number of good chances.
      Thundered home a sensational opener just seconds after firing a far easier shot miles over the bar. Subbed after 60mins.
      Wout Weghorst – 6
      Showed why he is important to this United side, dropping into midfield to help bring the ball upfield and make it stick up front.
