The 28-year-old grabbed an assist and was an all-round nuisance for the French defence in the first half before he was subbed off at half-time.

The English media was also pleased with the United man’s efforts as they widely praised his display.

Media reaction

TNT Sports gave Rashford an eight out of 10 for his Saturday evening’s work.

They reported, “he came close to doubling England’s lead through his blocked shot inside six minutes.”

TNT Sports also depicted his match as “a dip of the shoulder and a sumptuous nutmeg on Zaire-Emery led to his swirling shot from range which had Mike Maignan scampering to save.”

When describing his role in the third goal they stated, he “was patient, having picked up the scraps from his own thwarted attempt to set up Saka selflessly as England added a third inside 37 minutes. A lively and impressive 45-minute cameo.”

The London Evening Standard were not so forthcoming in their praise but they gave Rashford a seven for his performance.

They explained that he “had one great effort from range which forced a good save and assisted Saka for the Arsenal man’s first goal.”

Finally, The Mirror agreed with the Standard’s assessment and also have him a seven out of ten.

The paper described Rashford’s contribution as he “looked more free and dangerous – and provided an assist for Saka. Subbed at half time.”

The winger will now take a holiday and return to Carrington with his long-term future still to be decided moving forward.

Suablack Tor Pran49 stared down adversity, bit down on his mouthpiece, and engineered one of the most spectacular comebacks of the year.

The Thai fan favorite stopped Scottish standout Stephen “El Matador” Irvine via a stunning second-round knockout in their flyweight Muay Thai co-main event at ONE Fight Night 45 on Friday, July 17, from Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. The breathtaking finish also earned him a well-deserved US$50,000 performance bonus.

The NP Suablack representative opened the bout with sharp, purposeful striking, but Irvine quickly shifted the momentum, detonating a massive right hand that sent the Thai star to the canvas for the first knockdown.

Sensing blood in the water, Irvine surged forward with bad intentions in the second stanza. However, Suablack expertly weathered the storm and instantly flipped the script, flooring “El Matador” with a blistering right hand for an eight-count of his own. Moments later, the Thai striker closed the show, threading a thunderous counter left elbow that sent the Scottish powerhouse crashing to the canvas for good.

For Suablack, who arrived at this high-stakes contest on the back of consecutive losses, the jaw-dropping victory carried enormous personal weight.

He revealed:

The sequence that sealed the bout was equal parts instinctive and clinical. The moment he sensed Irvine fading after the initial eight-count, every grueling training session and previous finish funneled into a single, decisive action.

Landing flush, the devastating elbow left Irvine unable to beat the count, forcing the referee to immediately wave off the contest.

He told onefc.com:

For a martial artist as experienced as Suablack, whose career record now stands at an impressive 63-23, the drama of a first-round knockdown was never going to shake his belief in the outcome.

Having shared the ring with world-class competition across a long and decorated career, he carried into this contest the understanding that bouts between elite strikers are rarely decided by a single mistake. They are decided by who responds better when their back is against the wall.

Suablack Dedicates Bonus To His Wife

Suablack Tor Pran49 did not need long to decide what to do with his hefty US$50,000 bonus.

Few people understand the full, grueling cost of a fighting career quite like a fighter’s family does. For Suablack, one person has carried more of that weight than anyone else, and the massive bonus presented an opportunity to acknowledge her sacrifice in the most direct way possible.

While past bonuses went elsewhere, the Thai star had a very different plan in mind this time around.

The NP Suablack affiliate said:

With the bonus secured and his momentum fully restored, Suablack’s attention has already shifted to what comes next. At the top of his hit list is Japanese rising star Hyu, the man who handed him a defeat he is eager to avenge.

Beyond settling that score, an even bigger ambition is beginning to take shape. The flyweight Muay Thai division is a shark tank, but Suablack believes he is inching closer to the World Championship conversation, and Friday night’s masterclass has only strengthened that conviction.

He concluded:
