He has scored three goals already for his national side during the ongoing FIFA World Cup, including a brace of goals against Wales on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The match ended up being a walk in the park for the Three Lions who bulldozed past their opponents to secure a comfortable 3-0 victory at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar. While Rashford scored twice, Manchester City\u2019s Phil Foden scored the other goal as England topped their group&nbsp; with seven points on their way to the Round of 16 stage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Manchester United player broke the deadlock in the game and opened the scoring for England with a brilliant free-kick. Rashford found the back of the net in the 50<sup>th<\/sup> minute to put his side ahead on the night. The goal meant a lot to the 25-year-old who kneeled down and pointed to the sky while celebrating the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about his emotional goal celebration, Rashford told New York Post, \u201cUnfortunately, I lost one of my friends a couple of days ago. He\u2019s had quite a long battle with cancer, so I\u2019m pleased that I managed to score for him. He\u2019s always been a big supporter of mine; he was just a great person that I\u2019m pleased to have come into my life really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second goal of the night came from another England youngster Phil Foden. Jude Bellingham played the ball through to Harry Kane who slammed a delicious cross across the face of the goal. Foden arrived at the far post to tuck it home from close range and extend England\u2019s lead to two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contest was virtually over when England pulled three clear and put Wales out of their misery. Rashford got into the box with a darting run and made use of deft footwork to fool defenders and finished with a tame shot from his left which Welsh goalkeeper Danny Ward made a mess of and deflected into the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rashford has now grabbed three goals for his&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>country at the FIFA World Cup in as many games. He is the joint leading goal-scorer in the competition along with Cody Gakpo, Kylian Mbappe, and Enner Valencia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>England star Marcus Rashford is enjoying a glorious period of form right now.
