Lay off Marcus ... Lukaku was the real culprit

WHEN you go up for a header, getting hurt is the last thing you think about. You only have eyes for the ball — scoring is your sole aim. Marcus Rashford is a superb talent who has so many positive attributes. I am sure his team-mates will have dug him out for ducking out of the header — but did any of them have the right to do so after that performance? At least Rashford broke sweat. At 6ft 3in, Romelu Lukaku is one of the most physically imposing forwards in the Premier League. Yet he was bullied all afternoon by Andreas Christensen — on only his fourth league start for Chelsea — and Cesar Azpilicueta, who is almost half a foot shorter. The accusation levelled at Lukaku is that he does not turn up for the big games. I do not like calling players out for a lack of effort but on this evidence, it is hard to argue.
