Spooky! Manchester United score identical goals 10 years apart

Homesport

Same ground. Same opposition. Same goal. Same minute.

Manchester United have caused a glitch in the matrix. It's the only explanation for this eery example of history repeating itself. When Marcus Rashford fired home a last-gasp winner against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night, little did he know that he was channelling Park Ji-Sung from almost exactly a decade ago. On Tuesday, Rashford received the ball to the right of the penalty area at Old Trafford in the second minute of injury time. He dribbled towards goal before unleashing a finish that squeezed inside the Wolves keeper's near post to sensationally win the game for Manchester United and deprive Wolves of a point. https://twitter.com/primevideosport/status/1344039151109349381 Ten years ago, Park Ji-Sung received the ball to the right of the penalty area at Old Trafford in the second minute of injury time.

I could prove to be a good omen for United - they went onto to be crowned Premier League champions in the 2010/11 season.
