Solskjaer hails 'Cristiano-like' Rashford after stunning Man Utd winner

The Norwegian coach praised his forward's "nerves of steel" following a 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hailed Marcus Rashford for his "Cristiano-like" free-kick as well as the "nerves of steel" the forward displayed in taking a vital penalty in Wednesday's Carabao Cup win over Chelsea.

Rashford provided United's two goals in the 2-1 victory over the Blues, sealing the club's spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The England international scored his first from the spot 25 minutes in, but Chelsea clawed themselves back into the game thanks to a second-half finish from forward Michy Batshuayi.
