Marcus Rashford's Late Free Kick Leads Manchester United Past Chelsea in EFL Cup

Manchester United advanced to the Carabao Cup quarter-finals after defeating Chelsea 2-1 on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge.

Marcos Alonso fouled Daniel James to give United a 21st-minute penalty, and Marcus Rashford made no mistake with his spot-kick.

Michy Batshuayi grabbed the equaliser after a mistake from Harry Maguire after 61 minutes. The forward finished with a spectacular strike from distance.

However, Rashford's outrageous 73rd-minute free-kick from long range sent United into the next round.
