Marcus Rashford reached 100 goals for Manchester United by converting a fine header in Sunday’s Premier League meeting with West Ham.
Rashford met Christian Eriksen’s delicate right-wing delivery with a powerful header at the back post after 38 minutes at Old Trafford, putting Erik ten Hag’s side 1-0 up.
The forward’s goal – just the seventh he has scored with his head for United – made him the 22nd player to bring up a century of goals for the club.
He is the first United player to reach the landmark since Wayne Rooney in 2009. He went on to become United’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Rashford has scored 82 of his 100 club goals with his right foot, while 88 have come from inside the penalty area and just 13 have not come from open play (four free-kicks, nine penalties).
The England international, who turns 25 on Monday, achieved the feat against one of his favoured opponents – he has now hit the net four times against West Ham in the Premier League.
However, prior to Sunday, all three of his goals against the Hammers in the competition had come as a substitute – only five players have scored more from the bench against a single opponent – Julian Joachim v Derby Count (five), Ole Gunnar Solskjaer v Nottingham Forest, Javier Hernandez v Chelsea, Olivier Giroud v Southampton and Robbie Keane v Man City (all four).
