As stated by the Manchester Evening News, United winger Antony scored an impressive goal against Everton and in the process, he became the first United player to score in three consecutive league games.
With his equalizer in the victory over Everton, Antony maintained his streak of tallying goals in each of his first three league contests for Manchester United.
Even though he hasn’t scored in any of his three Europa League games, his Premier League record is flawless, with goals against Everton, Manchester City, and Arsenal.
Given the numerous famous players who came before him, he is the first player in the Premier League era to accomplish this feat. Since the start of the Premier League era in 1992, no Manchester United player has been able to match Antony’s record.
You must go back to 1972 to identify the last United player to score in his first three league games for the team. Ian Storey-Moore was the final United player to accomplish that feat.
No player has since broken his record, which emphasizes the significance of the exceptional accomplishment and puts Antony’s performance in perspective.
United’s victory over Everton saw them move up to fifth place in the Premier League table as they get prepared to face Newcastle United this weekend.
