It means that now Rashford is better. If Rashford scores against Astana, that will be conclusive proof.

Of course, if Tammy scores against Liverpool on Sunday, it will be conclusive proof that he is better than Rashford. That is, of course, unless Rashford has scored two goals against West Ham. Then it will be a tie.

At the end of the season whichever will player has more goals will conclusively have proven himself the better player. Unless, of course, Rashford has scored fewer while playing on the left wing. Then it will be a conclusive tie. And if one scores fewer while finishing outside the top six it will also be a conclusive tie, because the other will have had the benefit of the better team.

Then, next season, the cycle repeats, and the player who scores more or assists more or has more goal involvements overall or has more key passes and a higher expected assists and a larger difference between actual goals and expected goals will conclusively be better and that will have been conclusively proven.

Life is meaningless.
