Robson, who earned 90 caps for England between 1980 and 1991, was delighted with the Three Lions’ overall performance, but singled out Rashford for special praise, arguing that the young Mancunian helped England ramp up the pressure prior to Harry Kane’s late winner.
“When Marcus Rashford came on, he sparked the game, put Tunisia on the back foot and got into a couple of great situations where he could have created a goal,”
said the former United and England captain.
“He looked really sharp and bright about his game.”
England had taken the lead in the 11th minute through their skipper, Tottenham striker Kane, and peppered their north African opponents’ goal for much of the first half an hour - during which United’s Jesse Lingard was highly influential.
