Rashford’s free-kick nearly won the game, rattling the crossbar before Ollie Watkins converted the rebound.

Speaking on the Football Daily podcast Murray said: "I watched him and he looked like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. 

“He looked like the Marcus Rashford of old - running at people, committing defenders, being positive in his end product."

Murray added: "We all knew it was there, we all knew he was capable of it. It's been a long time coming. Aston Villa fans will hope they continue to see that. Refreshing from Marcus Rashford."
