Chapter 0041 - Header Achievement

Manchester United's penalty kick was still No. 21 Herrera. He has already taken penalties in two consecutive games and continues to have the right to take penalties from Manchester United.

Herrera was still very steady in taking the penalty, and this time was no exception, as he volleyed a powerful one, a penalty with power, speed and angle, and went straight into the corner. Don't say that Gomez misjudged the direction, and even if he did, he was unlikely to save the ball.

In a stalemate on the pitch, United unexpectedly took the lead thanks to Marcus Rashford's 18th-minute penalty.

Old Trafford was boiling over and the fans were shouting Rashford's name. They all know very well that Marcus Rashford, who created the penalty, was a great contributor to this goal.

And Herrera, who has scored in three consecutive games, also warmly embraced Rashford.

And not only that, he also wanted to return the favor with Rashford. If it weren't for Rashford's quick reaction and twisting his head to the side, the old guy's big mouth would have directly blocked Rashford's mouth.

Rashford didn't want his first kiss to be taken away by an old man, and that would be too much of a loss.

The little conspiracy did not succeed, and the political commissar was not embarrassed, stretching out his claws to ravage Rashford's short hair.

When the teammates saw this scene, they were also happy and gathered around.

The Premier League's high level of broadcasting is well known, and naturally this scene was captured. When the commentators from all walks of life saw this shot, they all laughed, complaining that Herrera wanted to kiss Xiao Xianrou by force.

And the Manchester United fans in front of the TV were even more merry.

"Commissar 666, I actually thought of using a kiss to repay Rashford, who gave him three penalty assists in a row!"

"I didn't notice Rashford's little eyes, obviously disgusted with Herrera's kiss!"

"That's, maybe Rashford is still a little virgin, and the first kiss naturally can't be given to a man, although Commissar Ae is also a handsome guy with a white face."

"Rashford is too strong, three points in a row, it seems that the opponent can't stop his attack without fouling!"

………………

The Watford boss was clearly unhappy with his team's defence, and he had repeatedly stressed before the game that his players should focus on Marcus Rashford.

Strictly speaking, Watford defended Rashford well in the first 17 minutes, and during this time, Rashford was defended with very few chances to touch the ball. And Manchester United's attack is indeed frozen, the field is evenly matched, and it can even be said that Watford still has a certain upper hand.

But in the end, it was the negligence of the defenders that allowed Rashford to form a breakthrough and create this penalty to break the deadlock on the field.

So, while the United players were celebrating after scoring, Watford manager Flores walked to the sidelines, called the players over, and re-emphasised the need to strengthen the defence against Rashford.

However, Flores' arrangement did not work.

Shortly after the restart, in the 21st minute, United stole Watford's attack at the back and quickly pushed the ball forward.

Depay's breakthrough was blocked and the ball cleared, but the second drop fell into United's control again.

Blind passes the intercepted ball to Schneiderlin, who doesn't stick to the ball and passes it to Mata. Juan Mata took two steps forward and caught a glimpse of Anthony Martial on the right and a pinpoint diagonal cross into the corner of the box for Watford.

It was a comfortable pass, and Anthony Martial's lack of defenders around him gave him plenty of time to stop the ball and cross.

As Anthony Martial stopped the ball, Rashford rushed towards Watford's goal. Beside him, four Watford defenders, two centre-backs Prodel and Bristol, and two midfielders, No.29 Capoue and No.8 Behrami, followed Rashford back in the wings.

They took the manager's instructions to heart and focused on Marcus Rashford.

However, at this point, another Manchester United player, Juan Mata, also rushed forward and there were no other defenders around.

Behrami was helpless, because it was very dangerous to empty Mata in this position, so he dropped Rashford and turned to defend Mata.

He thinks it would be fine to have three team-mates who were guarding Marcus Rashford.

………………

On the line of the six-yard box, Rashford took off. And when he jumped together, he naturally made the three Watford players around him jump with him. Moreover, these guys are not honest, and during the take-off, they kept squeezing Rashford with their bodies, trying to interfere with his take-off.

Marcus Rashford was indeed distracted and was a little off balance in the air.

However, it was so coincidental that Watford's three players, almost in the form of a regular triangle, surrounded Rashford in the middle, and the three of them squeezed together, which strangely brought Rashford's body back to balance.

Rashford's bounce is excellent now, reaching 80, and his height of more than 1.8 meters makes him jump a head higher than several Watford defenders around him.

And, as he got to the top of the jump, Anthony Martial's cross came in just in time, and it was an inside spin ball.

So, Rashford just shook his head lightly and just got the ball on the head.

The ball changed direction and whistled towards Watford's goal.

With a header close to the goal, and both speed and power, not to mention Watford's goalkeeper Gomes's ability can only be regarded as average, even if it is a goalkeeper like Cech, I am afraid that this attack is in vain.

Despite Gomez's save, the ball slipped between his hands and smashed into the net.

Marcus Rashford headed home to give United a 2-0 lead at home.

And at this time, the game has just reached the 21st minute!

It was another dream start, it was Marcus Rashford's goal that stunned the Old Trafford fans, and then there was an earth-shattering cheer.

Marcus Rashford was thrilled to score again, and the moment he landed with both feet and saw the ball smash into the goal, he waved his hands and rushed towards the corner flag.

"The amazing Marcus Rashford, who headed past Watford in the 21st minute to give United a 2-0 lead!"

'It's unbelievable that Rashford jumped a head higher than the rest of the players around him, it's a skyscraper!'

'Marcus Rashford was like flying, he pressed the defenders around him and scored with a header!'
