Marcus Rashford breaks England record, scores in 152 seconds and becomes youngest player to score on debut

Marcus Rashford made a stunning start to his England career, scoring just three minutes into his international debut.

The Manchester United starlet was handed his Three Lions debut after Roy Hodgson included the 18-year-old in his starting line-up to face Australia and he immediately rewarded his manager with an early strike.

Teed up by Raheem Sterling, Rashford slammed a low ball past Matt Ryan in the Australia goal to hand England and early lead, becoming the youngest ever player to net on his Three Lions debut.

The Red Devils whizkid will lead the line against the Socceroos, supported by both Adam Lallana and Raheem Sterling - who Roy Hodgson has insisted will play as forwards working from out-to-in, rather than wingers, as the Three Lions move back to a 4-3-3 formation at the Stadium of Light.

But there was no place on the bench for Liverpool's Daniel Sturridge, who has been suffering from a calf strain and is a serious doubt for Hodgson's Euro 2016 squad, with Rashford set to benefit should the Reds forward be ruled out.
