Marcus Rashford has become one of the only four players to score in four consecutive competitive appearances for England.

Marcus Rashford was on target as England secured a 2-1 win against Belgium in the Nations League Group B fixture.

The attacker instigated his side’s comeback as he leveled the scoreline from the spot in the first half before Mason Mount’s deflected shot sealed their narrow victory.

Sunday night marked a special occasion for him as Manchester United man have now joined the esteemed company of Wayne Rooney, David Beckham, and Bobby Charlton as the only players to have scored on in successive matches for the Three Lions.

The 22-year old’s first of the four came in the 6-0 win over Bulgaria in the Euro 2020 qualifiers last year. He then found the back of the net in yet another huge win, 7-0 against Montenegro, before improving his streak in a 4-0 win away at Kosovo.

Rashford will now aim to further extend his already impressive goalscoring streak when England take to the pitch at Wembley on Wednesday to face Denmark.
