Another strike for the 28-year-old means he continues to have his best-goal scoring season in the top flight for Brighton, and now only trails Marcus Rashford and Erling Haaland in post-World Cup goals in the top flight.
But it was not that statistic which caught fans’ attention after he hit the net.
Instead, eagle-eyes viewers could not help but notice that March scored in the 15th minute – on March 15.
Fans were left comparing the unlikely coincidence to the Twilight Zone as word of the strange occurrence began to spread.
One stunned fan on Twitter said: “It Is March 15 And Solly March Just Scored In The 15th Minute.”
Another said: “Solly MARCH 15 min goal … spooky or what?”
While another fan who stumbled upon the coincidence said: “This is wild!”
Meanwhile, SunSport’s Tom Barclay reporting from the Amex referenced Shakespeare as he tweeted: “Goal in the 15th minute on the March 15 – beware the strides of March… if you’re a Palace defender, at least.”
