When Said Benrahma shot from a distance against Manchester United last month, nobody expected his effort to find the net.
The players closing him down were not concerned about the space he'd found, Erik ten Hag expected a routine save from his goalkeeper and even the West Ham supporters inside the London Stadium thought it could not go in.
It wasn't how it turned out - a shot so tame it was more like a pass managed to trickle over David de Gea's gloves. The Spaniard's face was buried into the turf and the camera showed Marcus Rashford placing his hands on his head in disbelief.
