However, the next moment, Anfield's applause and cheers came to an abrupt end, because referee Velasco's hand actually pointed to the penalty spot.

It turned out that when the United fans complained just now, Velasco was communicating with the linesman through headphones. The linesman told Velasco that the place where Emre Can had fouled had gone into the penalty area.

The applause and cheers ceased, replaced by a flood of boos and curses, and it was clear that the Liverpool fans were very unhappy with the penalty awarded.

And Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp jumped angrily next to him. With so many mistakes in quick succession in the opening minutes, it doesn't look good!

………………

The commentators in the commentary area were also confused, but at this time, the on-site director cut in slow motion.

"The referee actually pointed to the penalty spot, is this a penalty?"

"Let's take a look at slow motion, what's going on...... Indeed, where Emre Can fouled, it has already entered the penalty area, and the linesman is right! ”

'The linesman made the right judgement, he told the referee Velasco, who awarded a penalty to Manchester United!'

"Poor Liverpool, only six minutes into the game, have already conceded a goal, and have been awarded two yellow cards and a penalty!"

"Liverpool were playing too aggressively, they even pushed the centre-backs past the centre circle, which is too unrealistic for Manchester United. Now they have paid for their radicalism! ”

"I have to say that Rashford's dribbling and speed are so good and fast, Emre Can started to chase from the big penalty line of Manchester United's half, although Henderson helped intercept it near the halfway line, but he still caught up outside his own big penalty area, and the foul went into the big box!"

……

………………

The referee awarded the penalty and the United players stopped surrounding the referee, but the Liverpool players did.

Velasco quickly dispersed them and walked to the penalty spot himself and motioned for United to take the penalty.

It's just that no one on Manchester United's side came out to take a penalty for a while. Originally, according to the regulations, it was Herrera who had the right to take penalties in the team, but Herrera did not play today.

And Van Gaal forgot to decide before the game who had the first penalty on the pitch today.

Captain Juan Mata called Anthony Martial and Depay, who had better shooting skills in the team, over to discuss who should be punished.

At this time, Rashford came over and said: "Uncle Mata, let me come!" ”

Mata was stunned.

The penalty was made by Marcus Rashford and he came to take the penalty. However, he has also made several penalties before, but he has never taken a penalty, can he take a penalty?

Depay was not happy that Rashford had come to take the penalty. He was about to refuse, but Martial said, "Juan, since Marcus wants to be punished, give it to him." He made the penalty and he shot well. ”

Mata nodded and said, "Okay, Marcus, the ball will be handed to you." ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to me!" Marcus Rashford said yes and walked to the penalty spot with the ball.

Depay saw that Mata and Martial said this, and that the penalty was indeed won by Rashford himself, so he couldn't say anything more, but he was always a little unhappy in his heart.

Rashford doesn't care about him, this penalty, even if he doesn't come to take it, it won't be Depay's turn.

………………

Marcus Rashford is fighting for the penalty because he wants to complete a related task given by the system, which is to compete for the Europa League's top scorer. This is a four-star quest that rewards 15 stat points and 5 skill points upon completion.

The tasks given by the system, except for the FA Cup triumph, are relatively difficult, and the competition for the Europa League top scorer is the least difficult.

As Rashford remembers as Rashford, this year's Europa League top scorer was Athletic Bilbao veteran Ariges Aduris, who scored 10 goals. He played in 11 Europa League games, starting 10 of them and coming off the bench once, scoring 10 goals and providing three assists.

Marcus Rashford remembers him because of the fact that at the age of 35, he became the oldest single-season goalscorer in the history of the Europa League (including the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League).

Marcus Rashford has now scored five goals and if he had scored one more penalty, the tally would have been six.

As things stand, Manchester United's elimination of Liverpool is a high probability event, which means that Manchester United have at least three games left in the Europa League, and there is a high probability that he will win the top scorer.

………………

As Rashford walked to the penalty spot with the ball, the Anfield home fans desperately booed and cursed in an attempt to put pressure on Rashford, preferably by letting him kick the penalty away under pressure.

However, under Rashford's 85 marksmanship, all intrigues and tricks are false.

I saw him running calmly, and then kicking the football. Mignolet misjudged the direction and thought Rashford would play on the left, but Rashford followed the direction of the run and pushed hard and the ball went straight to the right corner.

With such a tricky angle, not to mention that Mignolet judged the wrong direction, even if he judged the right direction, it was impossible to pounce.

In the seventh minute of the game, Marcus Rashford scored a brace and helped Manchester United take a 2-0 lead away from home.

Amid the earth-shattering boos at Anfield, Rashford made a beeline for the corner flag area, leaping high and whistling with his fist.

………………

'The goal went in, Marcus Rashford scored twice, Manchester United led 2-0 away and half-footed into the quarter-finals of the Europa League!'

"Although the Liverpool fans are desperately trying to make noise and try to affect Rashford, the 18-year-old is too calm to be affected at all!"

'Mignolet was completely wrong and Rashford's penalty went straight into the corner!'

"Klopp should have a headache, the game has only been seven minutes, the team is already 2-0 down, what to do next, I'm afraid I have to let him pull a lot of hair."

'Manchester United got off to a dream start and were 2-0 up after seven minutes, so are they going to do another massacre?'

"Marcus Rashford is horrible, he has scored six goals in just one and a minute Europa League game, second only to Bilbao's goalscorer Aduris, who scored seven!"
