Marcus Rashford continued his impressive form in front of goal for Barcelona as he netted a brace in the 6-1 win over Olympiacos in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, Afrosport reports.
The Manchester United loanee had a goal contribution in seven consecutive competitive games before the October international break, including a brace in the Champions League opening 2-1 win at Newcastle United.
Fermi. Lopez gave Barcelona the lead with a first half brace before Olympiacos pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 54th minute via Morocco forward Ayoub El Kaabi, who had a goal disallowed for offside by VAR four minutes earlier.
The Greek champions were then reduced to 10 men in the 57th minute after Santiago Hezze was given a second yellow card. This allowed Barcelona to extend their lead with Lamine Yamal making it 3-1 from the spot in the 68th minute.
Rashford completed his brace by scoring the fourth and sixth goal in the 74th minute and 79th minute respectively, off assists from Alejandro Balde and Pedri, while Lopez completed his hat-trick with the fifth goal in the 76th minute.
It took Rashford’s tally for Barcelona to five goals and four assists in all competitions this season, the third highest of any La Liga player behind Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe (15 goals, two assists) and Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez (seven goals, three assists).
