Norwich 1-3 Man Utd: Rashford & Martial lift Utd to 7th despite penalty drama

Game is over and the final score is Norwich City 1-3 Man Utd. Red Devils reach the top half of the Premier League.

Match Reports

Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were on target for Manchester United in their 3-1 Premier League win at Norwich City.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men had not won any of their eight away league outings since February but were comfortable winners at Carrow Road on Sunday.

Scott McTominay scored United's 2,000th Premier League goal with 21 minutes played before Tim Krul produced the first of two penalty saves to thwart Marcus Rashford, who redeemed himself with a good finish 30 minutes in.

Anthony Martial was next to be denied from the spot by Krul but France forward went on to seal the points for United, with Norwich substitute Onel Hernandez's late strike solely a consolation.
