PIC: Should Manchester United goal hero Marcus Rashford have been sent off against Arsenal?

Marcus Rashford's stunning Premier League debut may be the stuff of fairytale, but Arsenal fans believe the youngster should have been brought crashing back down to earth.

The 18-year-old struck twice in the first half to give an injury-depleted Manchester United side a half-time lead against the title challengers. But there has been a suggestion that Rashford, who also netted twice in the Europa League victory over FC Midtjylland, should have been sent off late in the first half. The teenager cleared off the line as Morgan Schneiderlin deflected the ball towards his own goal, but more than one Arsenal hand was raised, claiming Rashford had handled the ball. https://twitter.com/TheUSofArsenal/status/703958351542140929

Arsenal fans' reaction was what you'd expect of any fans in such a heated contest

And it got even worse when Rashford set up United's third goal for Ander Herrera, with neutrals chipping in too
