Rashford's on fire... at De Gea's expense

David De Gea could have that very thought as he flies back from Spain to rejoin Marcus Rashford in club colours, after his United team-mate scored past him in the UEFA Nations League for the second time this season.

Touch out his feet... composure & nice finish from @MarcusRashford 🔥⚽️

It was Rashford's third goal in four international games this season, after his September strikes against Switzerland (1-0) and Spain who, on that occasion at Wembley, came from behind to win 2-1.

Sterling, who had previously gone three years without scoring for England, doubled his tally and put his side 3-0 up for half-time when he converted from another Kane assist.

De Gea and his colleagues looked shell-shocked at the break and no wonder - it was the first time their national team had ever conceded three goals in a competitive home game, and their last defeat in such a context came 15 years and 38 matches ago, at the hands of Greece in June 2003.

A reaction was expected and Spain dominated possession in the second period, threatening a comeback when Paco Alcacer scored with a glancing header in the 58th minute. But the home side couldn't find another way past Jordan Pickford until it really was too little, too late - Sergio Ramos's diving header was timed in the seventh minute of injury time.

The fact the win was achieved with England's youngest starting line-up of the 21st century made it all the sweeter for head coach Gareth Southgate. And who was the youngest player in the eleven? A certain Marcus Rashford, aged 20 years and 11 months old.
