He was fantastic — Aston Villa boss Emery praises Man Utd outcast Rashford after beating Chelsea

Unai Emery praised Marcus Rashford's impressive performance off the bench in their 2-1 comeback win over Chelsea.

Rashford provided two assists to Marco Asensio's goals, turning the game around after Villa trailed 1-0 at halftime.

Emery told Sky Sports after the win; "We support him, help him, try to feel comfortable here, try to get confidence with us.

"We try to use his skill in our tactical idea. He's in the process, and of course, he played a fantastic 45 minutes. Already, he is going to be very important."

Rashford joined Villa on loan from Manchester United in January, after being frozen out by manager Ruben Amorim due to behavioural issues and reported differences.

The 27-year-old's fitness has been ramped up, and he is expected to start Villa's next Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
