When Josh Harrop waltzed through the Crystal Palace defence to score his first Manchester United goal on Sunday, it was not only a very fine strike and a personal mindset.
But it was also a little piece of history for both United and the Premier League, as Harrop became their 100th different scorer in the competition.
Making his debut in an under-strength United side, Harrop's fine goal has earned him a place in the record books.
