Rashford shines in FA Cup quarter-finals.

At Preston's Deepdale Stadium, the English striker became the hero for Aston Villa. In the 58th minute, Rashford finished neatly with one touch after an accurate cross from Lucas Digne. Midfielder Marco Asensio also contributed to this goal when he was the one to deploy the ball from the back line.

The above goal was also Rashford's first goal for Aston Villa after 10 matches. Before that, the former MU star had 4 assists for the Villa Park team.

Not stopping there, Rashford also increased the score to 2-0 for the away team in the 63rd minute. Aston Villa's Morgan Rogers was fouled in the penalty area. Rashford took responsibility and made no mistake, scoring the second goal against Preston.

After two quick goals, the away team played leisurely and created more scoring opportunities. Less than 10 minutes later, Jacob Ramsey skillfully handled the ball before shooting into the home team's net, raising the score to 3-0.

The match was considered over despite Preston's efforts to find an equalizer. In a good performance, the central defender duo Tyrone Mings and Konsa neutralized many attacks from the home team.

Even if they had taken advantage of their chances, Aston Villa could have scored 1-2 more goals. Ollie Watkins and his teammates missed many good chances.

The win puts Aston Villa through to the FA Cup semi-finals. The semi-final draw will take place after the remaining matches have finished.
