EPL: Rashford brace as Man Utd thrash Chelsea; Aubameyang secures win for Arsenal

Marcus Rashford scored twice as Manchester United walloped Chelsea 4-0 in a thrilling Premier League clash at the Old Trafford on Sunday.

It was United’s biggest Old Trafford win over Chelsea since 1965.

The victory condemned manager Frank Lampard to a miserable start as a Premier League manager for the Blues.

Rashford scored twice, either side of a close-range effort from Anthony Martial, while substitute Daniel James completed the scoring with a goal on his debut nine minutes from time.
