It looked like the Red Devils would have to settle for a 0-0 draw after failing to take their chances, but new signing Joshua Zirkzee scored in the 87th minute to make it a dream Premier League debut.

The Dutchman, who started on the bench, toe-poked Garnacho's cross to send the fans into pandemonium.
What was Van Nistelrooy's reaction?
Moments later, Erik ten Hag's side had the opportunity to seal the win after Fulham defenders failed to clear the ball. Rashford was through on goal, and instead of scoring himself, he squared it to Garnacho.
The youngster failed to tap into an empty net, which some have called the miss of the season. If the result were different, fans would be unhappy with the winger.
After the final whistle, Garnacho was standing alone near the tunnel. He embraced the young forward and briefly chatted with him, perhaps about the miss.
