Barcelona’s Marcus Rashford after scoring against Newcastle on Thursday
Marcus Rashford scored his first goals for Barcelona as the England forward’s brilliant brace inspired a 2-1 win against Newcastle in the Champions League on Thursday. Rashford struck twice in the space of nine minutes (58th & 67th min) in the second-half at St James’s Park to make a memorable return to England following his loan move from Manchester United in July.
The 27-year-old’s first goals in the Champions League since 2021 will have made for painful viewing for United fans, whose team have no European football this season and are already mired in a dismal start to their English Premier League campaign in which they have won only one out of their first four games. Anthony Gordon got one back for Newcastle in the 90th minute, but it was too little, too late.
