Fans experienced one of the strangest goals in football history, and not because of the manner it was scored. On Monday night 37-year-old Tom Huddlestone scored the winning goal for Manchester United U-21 team against city rivals Manchester City U-21 side. Ethan Wheatley gave Man United the lead 35 minutes into the game while Stephen Mfuni pulled one back for the Cityzens. Playing in the midfield position, Huddlestone popped up to score the winning goal in the box. Manchester United took advantage of the rule which allows teams to field one goalkeeper over the age limit and up to five outfield players over 21.
