England came out victorious in their final group game of the World Cup in Qatar and the Man Utd striker found the net twice in their 3-0 win over Wales.
After netting his first of the evening, Rashford could be seen kneeling down and pointing to the sky.
After the game, the 25-year-old explained the reason behind this gesture. He said “Unfortunately I lost one of my friends a couple of days ago. “He’s had quite a long battle with cancer, so I’m pleased I managed to score for him. He’s always been a big supporter of mine. He was just a great person and I’m pleased he came into my life, really.”
