Ferguson hails van Persie's 'goal of the century'

Van Persie's second strike, a 13th-minute volley, was hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson as "the goal of the century", with the manager stating the recruit from Arsenal on a £24 million deal last summer has been pivotal to United's triumph. "He's been unbelievable. I think that he has to take a lot of the credit.

I think his goals tell you that, his performance levels told you that. But I'm sure Robin would be saying what a great bunch of players he's had with him."Van Persie has 24 Premier League goals in his debut season at the club.
