Garnacho converted a brilliant first-time volley in the 47th minute from a pin-point Marcus Rashford cross to bring his side back into the game. After the match, Garnacho praised the team's mentality as they staged a comeback victory while revealing the move that resulted in his goal was part of a training drill that he regularly practices with Rashford.
WHAT ALEJANDRO GARNACHO SAID
Speaking to after the match, the 20-year-old said, "I missed two big chances in the first half, but I came back in the second half with the same mentality, trying to score and win the game, and, finally, I could do it. I know [Rashford can do this] because we tried it in training this week. I know he has a very good cross and I have to be ready in the back post. When he crossed it, I shot the first time and I scored, so I’m happy."
