With the game finely balanced at 1-1, the Man United player finished clinically, after a defence-splitting pass from Ross Barkley.
However, the England fans’ joyous celebrations were ultimately cut short.
After lengthy consultation with the Video Assistant Referee, the official deemed the ‘goal’ to be marginally offside and thus ruled it out.
