The mural that galvanised a community
The heart warming response when a mural of Marcus Rashford was defaced in the moments after he missed a penalty for England during the Euro 2020 final against Italy.
Marcus Rashford was targeted with online abuse after he missed a penalty in the Euro final against Italy. A powerful mural of one of the country's most popular footballers - in the neighbourhood in southern Manchester where he grew up - was also vandalised with abusive graffiti moments after the game finished. 大象传媒 reporter Rowan Bridge has been back in touch with some of the key people he spoke to at the time - and reflects on the outpouring of love and support as local people in Withington stood together against racism and hate. Hundreds of admirers covered up the ugly writing with letters, flags and Post-It notes containing supportive messages. This is 5 Minutes On - the mural that galvanised a community.
