The media, betting houses and the arbitration body itself, had decreed the second goal for Manchester United as an own goal by the Dutch defender Sven Botman in the final of the Carabao Cup that The Red Devils staged against Newcastle at Wembley on Sunday 26 December. February.

But this Monday it has been revealed that the referee awarded the second goal to Marcus Rashford, who at first had celebrated the goal as his own. However, as there had been a slight deviation from Botman, the main judge had classified it as an own goal.

It seems that that deflection was not necessary for the ball to enter the goal, or at least that is how the referee resolved it.

“This man is scoring goals even when he is not on the pitch,” this is how they joked from the official account of the ESPN medium.

However, Rashford had celebrated the goal as his own, so it all ended in a “bad time” for the British attacker.

With this goal, United put the seal on their victory against Las Urracas and after more than six years they lifted a title again since the 2016/17 campaign when they won the Carabao Cup and the UEFA Europa League.
