Chelsea manager Frank Lampard hailed Marcus Rashford’s long-range missile as he fired Manchester United into the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

The England striker crashed in an unstoppable drive from fully 30 yards out to secure a 2-1 win and a place in the last eight.

Chelsea had hauled themselves level through Michy Batshuayi after Rashford opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

But Rashford’s stunning free-kick ended Chelsea’s seven-match winning streak as they failed to get a measure of revenge on United for their 4-0 defeat on the opening day of the season.

“It’s great technique. We’ve seen Marcus Rashford hit balls with that technique before,” Lampard said.
