how is that a penalty shout? the keeper doesn’t touch him, rashford jumps him and falls
It's funny that people are still saying this when we literally had a non-contact penalty given against us.
He has to jump out of the way to avoid the keeper which impedes his natural trajectory towards the ball? It's a reckless challenge by the keeper regardless of if he made contact.
Leave aside this specific instance.
Keeper did not win the ball and stopped the player from getting to the ball. Jumping to avoid contact shouldn't mean it was not a foul in the box.
I do wonder what the actual wording on instances like this is, you're right that no contact was made - but Rashford had to jump to avoid contact, if he hadnt had to jump over the GK, he would've still been in control of the ball and would've had a potential goal scoring opportunity.
