The cool finish beyond Ederson was Rashford’s 15th goal of the season in all competitions.
The homegrown hero's latest strike also brought with it a swathe of notable stats that highlight the 25-year-old’s remarkable consistency and place in the history books.
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.
