Martial reaping rewards for hard work

The Frenchman netted all three goals in our comfortable victory over the Blades, to take his overall tally to 19 for this season.

He’s now level with Marcus Rashford as our leading goalscorer in all competitions, and has topped his previous best for the Reds, which was 17 strikes in his debut 2015/16 campaign.

Martial’s first and second goals in particular, both first-time finishes at the near post to take advantage of driven crosses from the right, were the type of efforts Ole has been wanting to see more of – with the Norwegian obviously a master of the close-range finish during his playing days.
