All three were penalties and these are also his only CL goals. Scored 26 goals in the Bundesliga that way during his career.
Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
The win against Fulham has been the first time we’ve won three Premier League games in a row, as far as I can remember.
It’s the first time since October.
I never claimed to have a good memory
Fair enough.
When was the last time we won 4 in a row?
Colombian keeper Rene Higuita scored 43 official goals, 54 if you include friendlies. Many of them free kicks
Rogério Ceni has the record for most goals scored, but also most penalties saved (since records began). 51 penalties saved across his career while also scoring 131 goals (with a genuinely ridiculous 62 free kicks)
Amazing for a keeper.
I'd never heard of him so thanks for the info.
Watching him on YouTube he has a nice FK style.
Defensive midfielder Casemiro is the top scoring Brazilian in United's history with 22 goals.
We have the longest unbeaten run in the PL currently.
Jose Luis Chilavert scored 1 goal for Villareal, 24 for Velez Sarsfield and 4 in 14 matches
for Penarol Montevideo. also scored 8 in 74 matches for ParaquayIn the last 14 months, Spurs have won more games in Europe than they have in the PL
Man utd are only 3 points behind City.
For the day that's in it.
Man City has not won a league match at Anfield in front of spectators since May 2003.

David Beckham played in the same team as Bebe and created a chance for him. This was for Gary Neville’s testimonial.
Marc Guehi has beaten Liverpool four times this season.
No wonder they booed him
Bebe is unfairly stigmatised. Aye, he wasn't United quality when he played for us, but there's been much worse. His backstory and name did him little favours.
Beckham made his Preston debut alongside David Moyes. We offered him to them. Beckham, sadly not Moyes
Nott'm Forest's 35 shots without scoring against Wolves tonight is the most in a Premier League game since Man Utd had 38 against Burnley in 2016.
I had the misfortune to attend that 2016, Tom Heaton put on a star display for Burnley.

Feyenoord just signed Raheem Sterling.
I'd forgotten he existed.
That’s for another thread.
I was thinking of that exact thread as I replied.
I actually don't find this that surprising
Definitely United's best ever Brazilian. Best ever South American?
Valencia nips him slightly. Forlan not.
The USA have more world cups than England
I dunno, 22 back then probably
It was only 2 pts for a win though.
Mikel Oyarzabal is 28 years old.
Bloke has been around for over a decade and has looked about 45 for most of that time.

Not sure it quite hits the mark (of the thread title) but just saw this.
Arnold Muhren (he of the great 80s midfield quartet) - his real name is…
Arnoldus Johannus Hyacintus Muhren.
