In the 1999-2000 season, Scholes scored one of the finest goals of his career against Bradford City on 25 March 2000. David Beckham took a corner directly to Scholes, who was stood on the edge of the area, who volleyed it in over Dwight Yorke, who was forced to duck. A week later, he scored the first hat-trick of his United career against West Ham United in a 7-1 victory that put United 10 points clear.
