Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo reached another landmark after his hat-trick in victory over Tottenham.
There had been claims that Ronaldo became recognised as Fifa's all-time top scorer with his hat-trick, passing Czech-Austrian Josef Bican's 805.
But the only time the Fifa website mentions Bican's 805-goal haul is in an article that says it is an estimated total, and does not call it a record. A Fifa tweet about Ronaldo's hat-trick did not even mention the record.
The Czech FA says Bican, who died in 2001, scored 821 goals and unofficial statisticians RSSSF - which initially reported the 805 figure - now says he has scored more than 950 goals.
That includes strikes in amateur and reserve games and for regional teams.
Ronaldo is definitely football's all-time top scorer of top-level players by quite some way (even if we do not know how much by).
Brazil legends Pele and Romario and Real Madrid and Hungary icon Ferenc Puskas are all somewhere in the 700s too - but numbers vary from report to report.
Lionel Messi is next on 759 goals for Argentina (80), Barcelona (672) and Paris St-Germain (seven).
Ronaldo has some way to go to beat the top three names on the RSSSF list (which all include unofficial games), Germany's Erwin Helmchen (987+), Bican and England's Ronald Rooke (929+).
