Manchester United star Marcus Rashford has dedicated his goal against Everton to his late cousin who recently passed away.
Rashford added United's second from the penalty spot on Sunday after Anthony Martial was fouled by Ashley Young. Initially the centre forward had been booked for diving but VAR informed John Brooks to overturn the decision.
After deflecting the pressure off Rashford, captain Bruno Fernandes handed the ball to the winger who duly slotted home to send the away fans into raptures. Taking to Instagram on Monday, the 26-year-old shared a poignant message to his followers.

He wrote: "I would like to dedicate the goal yesterday to my cousin who recently passed away. GBNF (Gone but never forgotten)."
A difficult time for Rashford and his family will have been made marginally better thanks to the victory at Goodison Park. United took the lead within three minutes as Alejandro Garnacho scored one of the club's greatest ever goals to silence the home support.
After the England international had doubled the advantage from the spot, Martial wrapped up the game with 15 minutes remaining as a delicate chip beat Jordan Pickford and moved United up to sixth. While it is not the position the Reds want to be in come the end of the campaign, there are positive signs after a difficult start to the season.
