League position: 13th 1,503 goals had now been scored in Manchester United’s 539 away games in the Premier League (for 914, against 589). The Red Devils had now been awarded 24 penalties in all competitions since the start of the previous season (scored 20). United's winning goal was timed at 99 minutes and 45 seconds; the latest goal in a game in the Premier League since Juan Mata scored in Chelsea's 3-1 win against Norwich City on 27 August 2011 (100 minutes and three seconds). Marcus Rashford scored after 52 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
