Man Utd striker Marcus Rashford scored a stunning goal for England against Italy on Tuesday night.
The end-of-year international breaks tend to be a bigger buzz-kill than the guy whipping out an acoustic guitar at a house party.
Additionally, United's extensive casualty list may have shrunk at least a little bit by the time they're next in action and the break has also given the opportunity for the club's underperforming stars to rediscover their form away from the stifling, stressful environment of Old Trafford. An opportunity Marcus Rashford has grasped with both hands.
United were already short on goals last season when Rashford was at his best and it's now reached critical levels. Rasmus Hojlund has been impressive but he hasn't delivered the consistent strikes - as expected - that United needs. United are the only side in the top half of the table with a negative goal difference and have only managed to score more than Crystal Palace. In fact, they have only scored more than seven teams in the entire league.
That moment presented itself when Phil Foden smuggled the ball through to the sensational Jude Bellingham who then gave it to Rashford, some 40 yards from goal. Then there must have been a blip in the space-time continuum as the Rashford of last season suddenly materialised. He moved with speed and grace, closing the gap on goal in seconds, ghosting by defenders before shotgun-blasting the ball into the bottom corner.
