EPL: Rashford Scores Late, Earns Man United 1-0 Win At Hull

Super-sub Marcus Rashford scored a late winner against Hull City to give Manchester United their third consecutive Premier League win.
Marcus Rashford scored two minutes into stoppage time to earn Manchester United a 1-0 win at Hull and a third straight victory to open the English Premier League on Saturday.

Associated Press report continues:
Rashford capped an impressive cameo as a second-half substitute by tapping in from close range after Wayne Rooney cut in from the left and sent across a low ball.
After previous wins over Bournemouth and Southampton, United was on course to drop points for the first time this season in the face of an obdurate defensive performance by promoted Hull, which also won its first two games.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's three-match scoring run came to end, but United was saved by another striker at the opposite end of his career. The 18-year-old Rashford burst onto the scene in the second half of last season, earning a place in England's European Championship squad, but has been displaced by Ibrahimovic under new coach Jose Mourinho.
United joined Chelsea on maximum points after three games.
