Anthony Martial, a forward for Manchester United, matched David Beckham's Old Trafford goals total on Wednesday night.
The France international is now among Manchester United's top 25 all-time goal scorers with his second-half goal against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup semi-final second-leg 2-0 victory, tying David Beckham's total of 85 goals for the Red Devils.
Along with Marcus Rashford and the returning Jadon Sancho, the 27-year-old was introduced just after the hour against Nottingham Forest, and 10 minutes after entering the game, he had scored.
A shot from Rashford was deflected into Martial's path by midfielder Casemiro, and he made no mistake in firing a left-footed strike into the bottom corner.
In a game with few chances, Martial's goal at Old Trafford made it 1-0 on the night and 4-0 overall.
But shortly after, midfielder Fred scored again, and the score remained 2-0, setting up a Carabao Cup final against Newcastle United on Sunday, February 26.
