Chapter 0135: Crazy Record
However, when the United players returned to the pitch after their celebrations, Rashford also received a topaz card from referee Mike Dean.
Stripping on the pitch is forbidden for players, and the moment Rashford undressed, he knew the yellow card was set, but he didn't hesitate to do it in the excitement.
In doing so, Rashford received the second yellow card of his career and the second yellow card in the Premier League.
Rashford didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, he plays relatively cleanly, and he is an attacking player, so he hardly knows how to play cards. Since his debut at the end of February, he has only received two yellow cards, and neither of them was for fouls on the pitch: the first was a slap on the back against Manchester City's five sons, and the second was the one he celebrated after his hat-trick against Tottenham.
There was not much time left until the end of the game before Marcus Rashford's goal, and after he scored a goal and then celebrated, time passed faster and Tottenham was running out.
Marcus Rashford and his team-mates returned to their own half with a smile and a smile on their part, while the Tottenham players were mostly dejected.
In today's game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tottenham's absolute scoring opportunities are obviously too much higher than Manchester United. But it's as if God is playing a joke on him, and he doesn't get in. As for Manchester United, there were only a handful of chances to hit the goal in the whole game, but in the end it was a stunner for them.
The blow to the morale of Tottenham's players is unimaginable, and even makes them a little skeptical.
After the resumption of the game, Tottenham did launch a wave of attacks on Manchester United's goal, but the Tottenham players, who had been hit by a huge psychological blow, were unable to organize an attack that could actually threaten Manchester United's goal.
It wasn't until referee Mike Dean blew the full-time whistle in the 96th minute that Tottenham couldn't pull it back.
………………
At the end of the game, the BBC's Lineker shouted: "It's over! Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 at White Hart Lane! All three of United's goals came from Marcus Rashford, who scored another hat-trick in this game! As a result, he has scored a staggering 21 league goals, ranking second in the Premier League's scorers' charts! ”
At the top of the scorers' charts is Harry Kane, the leading scorer on the other side of the game, with 22 goals so far. Kane was a bit lost and didn't score, ending his good run of six goals in the previous four games. ”
"It was only before the start of this game that the young Red Devils goalscorer was awarded the Premier League Prize of the Month for March. In this game, Manchester United encountered extremely difficult conditions, and just when everyone thought they would be the next victim of the best curse, Rashford stepped up and beat Tottenham with an out-of-the-box striker, and also rejected the so-called best curse! ”
"No one knows where Rashford's goal limit is, and many have said Rashford will soon stop his goalscoring streak, but the young Red Devils goalscorer has slapped the predictors in the face time and time again. I don't think anyone is going to do it anymore when Marcus Rashford will stop scoring, but I wonder if Rashford would have broken the English top-flight record set by Everton legend Dixie Dean 88 years ago if he had come on at the start of the season? ”
……
………………
Lineker's words made many people disagree. Because Dixie Dean's record is really terrifying.
In League One 88 years ago in 1927-28, Dean scored a frantic 60 goals for Everton, an average of nearly 1.5 goals per game. It was almost single-handedly Dean who helped Everton win the league title that season.
Dean's record of 60 goals in a single season can only be considered astronomical today. For Premier League goalscorers who can score 30 goals in a season and become a luxury, 60 goals is a "myth" that has never been heard before.
Even if you look at the history of English football as a whole, Dean's record is unattainable, with the second-highest all-time ranking being Aston Villa's Tom Warning's 49 goals in 1930-31. The 11-goal gap puts the single-season goal myth created by Dean out of reach.
Since the Premier League reform in 1992, only Shearer and Andy Cole have scored 34 goals. This record is also 24 years from today.
Not to mention England, even if it is placed in the top five leagues, Dean's record of 60 goals in a single season is a miracle that is out of reach. Just look at the goals records of the other big four leagues today.
Ligue 1's single-season scoring record is held by Skobral with 44 goals in a 1970-71 season as Marseille's goalscorer.
Serie A single-season scoring record is held by Rossetti, who scored 36 goals in a single season for the Torino goalscorer in 928-29.
The Bundesliga's single-season scoring record is held by the famous goalscorer Gerd Müller, known as the bomber, who scored 40 goals in a single season in 1971-72.
La Liga's single-season goal record is higher than those three, with Messi, one of the peerless duos, scoring 50 goals for Barcelona in the league five years ago in 2010-11, surpassing Real Madrid's record of 49 goals in a single season set by Real Madrid legend Puskas in 1959-1960.
Indeed, if you only talk about the average goal per game, Rashford is absolutely terrifying, scoring 21 goals in six games, an average of 3.5 goals per game.
But as long as there is a little bit of sanity, it is not believed that Rashford will keep this form for long. And a Premier League season is very long, in a long schedule of 38 rounds, six games are too short to say anything.
It is believed that if Rashford can play a full season, it is still possible to improve the Premier League goalscoring record of Manchester United predecessors Andy Cole and Alan Shearer.
As for the miracle of Dean's 60 goals in a single season in the English top league, it should be memorialized as a permanent history, and future generations should think about it, don't take it seriously.
Perhaps, if you go back to the early years of the Premier League, with Rashford's current hot form, there is a little bit of hope: in the first three years of the Premier League, there were 22 teams, and there were 42 games to play throughout the season.
In fact, when Dean set the English top-flight scoring record, which has not been broken for 88 years, there were 22 teams in League One. Dean also made 39 appearances in 42 league games.
