The night also marked a return for Fabregas to Barcelona, Sergi Roberto, and Alex Valle.

The midfielder doubled his tally 15 minutes later with a stunning strike into the top corner. His brace was certainly a display of his growing importance in Flick&rsquo;s plans.<\/p><p>Moments later, Rashford&rsquo;s surging run into the box set up Raphinha for the third. Rashford missed a chance of his own but the Brazilian soon returned his favour by stealing possession deep in Como&rsquo;s half to square for Lamine Yamal.
