A stunning injury-time free-kick against Stoke City for Manchester United had greater significance than Wayne Rooney simply rescuing a point for his side, the goal was the England international's 250th for the club and was the one which saw him overtake Bobby Charlton as United's all-time record goalscorer.
Rooney is now sitting on 250 goals after 546 games in all competitions for the Red Devils, with Charlton managing 249 in 758 fixtures.
His last gasp strike also extended United's 16-game unbeaten run at the death, while only Alan Shearer has now scored more Premier League goals than Rooney.
"Charlton congratulated me in the dressing room and I'm very happy," smiled Rooney afterwards. "I'm a team player but records are important.
"When you finish your career, you look back and it is something to tell your children about. It is a great day, I'm very proud and it is something I definitely didn't expect when I joined the club."

In 13 seasons since his move from Everton, the striker has scored 180 league goals, 22 in the FA Cup, five in the League Cup, 39 in Europe (30 in the Champions League), while the goals are spread out with 193 via his right foot, 27 with his left and 30 with his head.
Of his total goals, 213 have been netted from within the penalty area and 37 from outside, while 26 of his goals have came from the spot.
With 14 goals against them, Aston Villa have been Rooney's favoured victim during his years at Old Trafford, while he has also netted eight hat-tricks, including a memorable one on his debut.
He has collected 14 major honours (which includes five league titles and a Champions League winners medal) and is also his national side's all-time top scorer too.
"I'd be lying if I said I don't mind losing the record," was the view of Charlton from the other side of the fence. "I've had it for more than 40 years, since my last goal in 1973.
"Still, I'm happy for Rooney. He's a great player for the country and United. I was 35 years old when I retired but Rooney is 31 and still going strong.
"Now he is the man to beat and I don't see anyone beating it for a very, very long time."
The words of praise for Rooney's achievements were echoed by his coach, Jose Mourinho.
"He has achieved a record like that at one of the biggest clubs in the world," said the tactician. "He is definitely a legend at United."
