Man United Anthony Martial scores impressive last minute goal
After a slick counter attack involving Ander Herrera, Martial coolly finished past Tom Heaton.
It was his 25th goal for United since arriving from Monaco in 2015 in a deal worth an initial £36m.
The deal included several clauses in the contract when Martial hit specific milestones.
And the 21-year-old's first half strike activates the clause which states United are required to pay £8.5m to his previous club.
