So this is either embarrassing or is proof we now have precogs in the marketing dept.

That's fantastic.

Isn't it more an issue that West Ham listed both as valid?

All that matters is he scored 2 that day and got it to 300. Doesn't have to be re-celebrated. Still Lampard day.

Eh, he scored 300 in completed matches. Just because one was voided and technically doesn't count, it was scored.

Or the FA, for that matter? Who's the one that's ultimately responsible for the authoritative tally?

Exactly. I doubt NYCFC was doing the validation/counting of all - they would be using stats provided by both the FA and former teams.

Give SkySports credit for catching that one. A pretty understandable error, and as has been pointed out, he got there anyway.

It was a well done celebration, I thought. Nice, short video. Good gift. Short speech. Nice to have the mayor's office provide recognition too.

Based on Wiki, I think Villa's first NYCFC goal was his 300th.

If you are using the sidebar on the right, that only counts domestic league goals.
