David Beckham enjoyed a memorable Paris Saint-Germain debut on Sunday when he came off the bench to help set up the second goal in the Ligue 1 leaders 2-0 win over bitter rivals Marseille.
The win kept Carlo Ancelotti's side three points clear of Lyon who defeated Lorient 3-1 earlier in the day.
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy star Beckham came on in the 76th minute on a freezing, snowy night in Paris to a rousing reception.
After an assured first touch and two more clean passes, a stray ball down the wing was met by derision from the Marseille fans who were pushing their team forward in search of a late equaliser.
But in a Hollywood ending to his debut, Beckham made sure the headlines will again feature his name by playing a crucial role in the second PSG goal.
The 37-year-old Englishman, who is the oldest player in Ligue 1, played a neat one-two with Jeremy Menez who then crossed the ball which bounced in off the leg of Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the Swede's league-leading 22nd goal of the season.
Beckham joyfully jumped into the arms of Ibrahimovic with the three points safe and his reputation once again enhanced despite the massive pressure he was under.
The game more than lived up to the massive hype of Beckham's impact during a rousing first-half that saw PSG dominate the early chances and hitting the post in the second minute before taking a fortunate lead on 11 minutes.
Brazilian star Lucas Moura was at the heart of the breakthrough as his determination led to some sustained pressure that finally produced a shot that was deflected twice, first by Joey Barton and then decisively by Cameroon defender Nicolas N'Koulou for an own-goal that left 'keeper Steve Mandanda stranded.
"It's a huge win for the team and we needed the three points," beamed defender Sylvain Armand.
When asked about Beckham's brief cameo, he replied. "It was a pleasure to play with him."
The danger man for Marseille as they chased an equaliser at 1-0 down was French striker Andre-Pierre Gignac who saw his goal-bound effort on 53 minutes glance off the arm of PSG's Italian 'keeper Salvatore Sirigu.
Moments later, another loose ball in the PSG box was acrobatically driven towards goal by Gignac, only for Sirigu to intervene with a tipped save over the bar.
However the highlight for the home fans, and many neutrals, was the introduction of Beckham who came on for Javier Pastore with the game on the line and only 14 minutes left.
