The stadium erupted as the ball hit the back of the net—Zirkzee had scored his debut goal for Manchester United!

United fans celebrated wildly, knowing that this goal could very well be the match-winner. Fulham pressed for an equalizer, but United’s defense held firm, and as the final whistle blew, Zirkzee’s goal stood as the difference.
