Erik ten Hag's ball came into full play in Manchester United's opener against Everton as they produced a sensational set-up for Scott McTominay's strike.
Man United beat Everton 2-0 at Old Trafford on Saturday, with McTominay and Anthony Martial on the scoresheet.
And the goal in the 36th minute of the Scotland international showed the hard work of the whole team.
The clip shared online shows all 19 passes being made before the ball goes into the net.
The game started in the back, with David de Gea, Lisandro Martinez and Harry Maguire all taking part. The formation shifted to the left, with Marcel Sabitzer moving into space before picking up Marcus Rashford, who passed to Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
From there, the right-back went inside, with McTominay and Rashford coordinating before Jadon Sancho received the ball.
The United winger then passed the ball to McTominay, who ended the team's move with a brilliant finish that knocked Jordan Pickford down.
Needless to say, Man United fans praised the beautiful streak in front of goal.

Ten Hag's football philosophy and style is taking shape after joining the team just last summer. It's a positive sign because it marks his identity in the team.
Speaking after his team's 2-0 win, he said:
“The fact that you can do this in the third game in six days is a real credit to the team because it was a great performance – great and exciting football and a win, because So I'm really happy about that.
“But we have to be more clinical, more ruthless in the opposition box. I think this match should have ended at halftime. We didn't, but it was an outstanding performance.
"It is very good:
if you play three games in six days and can do it, that's a big compliment to the team. We controlled the ball and controlled the ball very well - there were a lot of players on the pitch who played at a high level."
