Was Bruno's strike our longest-range home goal?
Bruno Fernandes's audacious effort against Liverpool was a stunner, but where does it rank in terms of our longest-range goals at Old Trafford in the Premier League?
This is not an easy question to answer but we have enlisted the assistance of Opta, the renowned statisticians, to see if we can look a little deeper into it.
What we can say is that it was certainly not as far out as the famous goals by David Beckham, against Wimbledon in 1996, and Wayne Rooney, at West Ham United in 2014.
But those strikes came at Selhurst Park and Upton Park, both in London.
Opta have been compiling distance data for goals in the top flight since the 2006/07 season.
Hence, we can definitively say Bruno's leveller is the furthest out we've scored on home turf over that period of time. Indeed, only Rooney's Hammers hit beats it overall in these past 18 years.
Wazza's eighth-minute effort was from almost 50 yards out (49.6), compared to Fernandes's mark of 44.6 yards.
Next on Opta's list is probably one that you would not picture being in this conversation. Juan Mata swung over a free-kick from way out on the right that narrowly evaded everybody in the middle to register the winning goal against Stoke City in December 2014.
Marcos Rojo initially claimed it but the ball did not quite touch the Argentinian's head on its way into the net.
It was almost 40 yards out, remarkably, enough to be ahead of Scott McTominay's memorable derby clincher against Manchester City in 2020.
McTominay found the empty net in the dying seconds of the 2-0 victory over Pep Guardiola's men just before lockdown, following a mistake by Blues keeper Ederson.
For some, Bruno's goal evoked memories of Scott's strike and, for others, it was similar to Edinson Cavani's beauty against Fulham, in the first game back for a small section of supporters as the Covid restrictions were eased.
Yet the Uruguayan's classic, recorded at 36 metres, just fails to make the top five since 2006/07, thanks to Tom Cleverley's sweeping curler against Newcastle United, which clinched a 3-0 victory at St James' Park in 2012.
