Maguire: I'm always happy to contribute goals

We may have had a number of defenders capable of finding the net, none more so than ex-skipper Steve Bruce, but it feels pretty remarkable to claim this was a new feat achieved in the division, thanks to the goals by Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire in the gritty win for the 10 men.

De Ligt pounced when Diogo Dalot's shot was kept out by Alex Palmer, while Maguire expertly nodded home Bruno Fernandes's right-wing corner in the second half to earn all three points.

After scouring the record books, we cannot find another instance of this happening since the league was formed in 1992.
