Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford broke another record during victory over Manchester City.

Rashford's incredible scoring run continued on Saturday lunchtime, as he netted the vital winner in United's 2-1 derby victory.

The cool finish beyond Ederson was Rashford's 16th goal of the season in all competitions.

Rashford has netted eight in seven matches since returning from the World Cup in Qatar, and he now just needs to score in the next home game against Reading on 28 January to break a long-standing club record.

The goal against City means Rashford has now scored in nine consecutive home games, matching the feat of Dennis Viollet, who did the same in 1959. The Reds face three consecutive away games before he will get the opportunity to elevate himself above Viollet's heroics.
