no stopping Welsh wizard Giggs as goal at Fulham extends remarkable record

Ryan Giggs' goal against Fulham on Wednesday night saw him extend his unique record of scoring in every Premier League season.

But not everything went his way — when the 38-year-old winger scored United’s third goal at Craven Cottage, it turned out to be the 19,999th goal scored in the Premier League.

Guess who scored the 9,999th? Former United midfielder Paul Scholes.


Giggs’ first came way back in August 1992 in a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest.

The Welshman has actually scored in 22 seasons, since making his debut for United in March, 1991.
It was a comfortable night for United at Craven Cottage, with the visitors 3-0 up at half-time following goals from Danny Welbeck, Nani and Ryan Giggs.
Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov scored superb goals late on to give United their heaviest win in three months.

Sir Alex Ferguson's men go into Christmas still two points behind their neighbours Manchester City in the title race.
