Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu made history on Saturday as he became the ninth Ghanaian to make 50 Premier League appearances.
Salisu was in action for the Saints in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at St. Mary's Stadium.
The 23-year-old was paired alongside Armel Bella-Kotchap after the Saints' 2-1 win in their last assignment away at Leicester City.
Salisu reached the milestone after Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey.
However, he will go into the record books as the second youngest Ghanaian to achieve the fete, aged 23 years and 132 days. Crystal Palace ace Jeffrey Schlupp was the youngest Black Stars player - 23 years and 82 days, to hit 50 English top-tier appearances.
Bruno Fernandes broke the deadlock 10 minutes after the break with a precise side-footed volley to give United the three points they just about deserved.
Salisu made the most clearances in the match, five, and managed 46 key passes putting him second. He also managed 66 touches in the game and was third on aerial duels won after winning six duels.
