Marcus Rashford scored the opening goal for Aston Villa as they comprehensively beat Brighton and Hove Albion at the Amex stadium

With his career reignited by leaving Manchester United, Marcus Rashford said he was “enjoying my football” again after scoring his first goals for Aston Villa in the team’s victory in the FA Cup quarterfinals on Sunday.

Marcus Rashford struck his first Premier League goal for Aston Villa to set his side on course for a comprehensive 3-0 win over fellow European hopefuls Brighton at the Amex Stadium. The on-loan Manchester United forward added to his brace in Sunday’s 3-0 FA Cup quarter-final success away to Preston by bobbling home a 51st-minute finish after Villa countered from a Seagulls corner.
