Marcus Rashford at his brilliant lethal best was Jose Mourinho’s ace up his sleeve that saw Manchester United beat rivals Liverpool in an Old Trafford thriller. The Mancunian scored twice in the first half as United made an electrifying start but the hosts then had to endure an attempted comeback by the Merseysiders, boosted by an Eric Bailly own goal in the 66th minute. A stubborn response to Liverpool's recovery and a rediscovered taste for the big-rival scalps - Chelsea were beaten in the last home game, of course - meant that United survived a nail-biting finale and extended the gap between second and third place to five points ahead of the weekend's other Premier League fixtures.
But enough about all that because this blog turns eight tomorrow, and as per the tradition at this time of year, we honour three people or groups who were smarter than the average with the Yogi Awards. Today's one goes to the organisers of last week's Oscars. They were smarter than the average in that they didn't muck up the Best Picture award like they did last year. The Shape of Water actually did deserve to win. But it would have been nice to have a woman win Best Director.
