Martial matches Cantona achievement as Manchester derby hot streak continues

Anthony Martial's derby opener against Manchester City saw the United forward match a goalscoring feat last managed by the great Eric Cantona.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men made the breakthrough 30 minutes in to take the lead at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Bruno Fernandes spotted Martial's run into the box and chipped a free-kick into the France international's path, and he obliged by squeezing the ball past Ederson at the goalkeeper's near post.
