Well, is there any stopping him right now? Anthony Martial has scored three goals in his last two games and has finally found his feet this season.

First of all, his defensive contribution needs to be appreciated. He pushed himself back, stayed alert and covered up for Luke Shaw on many occasions. He approached the match much better in terms of defensive task.

When his side finally played some football in the second half, the youngster stepped up. He converted from just over 6 yards out to put the Red Devils back in it. His second was sublime. Martial cut inside a blue shirt and launched a shot remarkably past the opposition keeper. His connection and placement, both were near perfect.

Ad

Apart from his goals that almost won it for Manchester United, Martial was the best out of he front three. He was the more explosive one, the player who injected pace and a cutting edge. He ran at Azpilicueta on a consistent basis, giving him a run for his money.
