Martin Keown blasts Marcus Rashford for Manchester United ‘dive’ against Nottingham Forest.Martin Keown has accused Marcus Rashford of diving for Manchester United’s winning penalty against Nottingham Forest.
Bruno Fernandes scored from the spot to complete a 3-2 comeback at Old Trafford. United were 2-0 down after four minutes but fought themselves level through Christian Eriksen and Casemiro.
Then Rashford went down under a challenge from Danilo in the area and United were awarded a penalty. Replays show there was contact from the Forest midfielder, albeit not a great deal.
Whilst that was enough to satisfy VAR that a penalty should be awarded, Keown was incensed. He labelled Rashford’s fall as a dive and insisted those at Stockley Park should have intervened.
