Faris scored a magnificent goal in his debut against Middlesbrough with a thundering shot from outside the penalty box. He went on to score another 2 goals, one with a header and he scored the last one by dribbling past all 11 players. Scoring a hat-trick in his debut, Faris believes that he could not have scored all 3 goals without the aid of his teammates. "If Edwin (Van Der Sar) had not passed me the ball, i wouldn't have been able to dribble all the way to the other goalpost." Final score: Man Utd 3 Middlesbrough 0
