The Red Devils are back on top of the Premier League table after their 2-1 victory at Craven Cottage, and it means they’ve also now won 94 games in which they’ve conceded the first goal in the top flight.

This is certainly a fine record from Man Utd, which shows them to be the real comeback kings of English football as they so often seem to have it in them to turn games around.
See below as another stat from Opta shows that United are also already level for the most comeback wins they’ve managed in a single season, equalling their own record with seven already this term…
7 – Manchester United have won seven Premier League games having gone behind this season – only Newcastle in 2001-02 (10) and Man Utd themselves in 2012-13 (9) have done so more in a single campaign. Mindset. pic.twitter.com/fMpStIgumf
