That’s because the defender’s equaliser, a brilliant glancing header beyond Blades goalkeeper Wes Foderingham after 42 minutes, not only saw our no.5 score in back-to-back United games for the first time, but it also brought up an impressive benchmark in England’s top flight.
The goal was the 1,085th of the current Premier League campaign, beating the all-time record for a 20-team season in the competition, set as recently as 2022/23. And with a further seven goals scored elsewhere on Wednesday evening, that figure now stands at 1,092, with 45 games still to play at the time of writing.
