WHAT HAPPENED?
The Manchester United defender's strike in the 42nd minute - which brought the club back into the game against Sheffield United at Old Trafford - was the 1085th goal in the Premier League in the 2023/24 season, the most scored in a 20-team campaign in the league's history. It beat the previous record of 1084 goals which was created only last season.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The teams went on to score four more goals in the match as United clinched the clash 4-2. With the rock-bottom side conceding four in the night, they have now leaked 92 goals in the current campaign which is the most any team have conceded in the history of the league.
DID YOU KNOW?
The remarkable comeback win over The Blades has helped the Red Devils to reduce their gap with fourth-placed Aston Villa. Yet they still remain 13 points behind albeit with a game in hand.
