In the 32nd minute of tonight’s Champions League tie against Istanbul, Manchester United were awarded a penalty after Victor Lindelof’s pass from the back sparked danger.
The ball over the top saw Marcus Rashford burst past Celtic ace Boli Bolingoli-Mbombo – the shunned replacement of Arsenal ace Kieran Tierney.
Bolingoli-Mbombo knocked Rashford over with excessive force, leaving the referee to point to the spot.
Specialist Bruno Fernandes, whose already scored twice tonight with a thunderous strike and a tap-in, showed his class as he refused the chance to secure a hat-trick and left the ball to Rashford.
The England international deployed a stutter-step technique before tucking the ball into the bottom corner with a lovely spot-kick that sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.
