Welbeck opened the scoring at the AMEX Stadium against United with a poacher's finish, as he poked in a fine cut-back from Kaoru Mitoma. The goal brings up a unique record for the striker, who has now scored five goals against his old club since leaving in 2014 to join Arsenal. No former United player has scored more against them.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Danny Welbeck is the first former Manchester United player to score five Premier League goals against them.&nbsp; Dat Guy Welbz scores his 100th club career goal against his former side. 💯 <a href="https://t.co/V2X88ctc26">pic.twitter.com/V2X88ctc26</a>— Squawka (@Squawka) <a href="https://twitter.com/Squawka/status/1827319791171887445?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 24, 2024</a></blockquote>
