The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 striker claims that his side were determined to come out on top yesterday and that the sensational victory was not a fluke by any means.
English football’s biggest game, the Manchester derby, was always going to be an exciting affair, packed with action and quality football to behold.
However, most pundits and neutrals were backing the home side at the Etihad to come away with three points and draw level with United in the Premier League table. That, though, never came into fruition as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 slotted him the opening goal of the
match inside the first half.
The Citizens had been the better team uptil then but were taken aback by the sudden rise of their neighbours, who then added a similar second through their talismanic number ten yet again.
At the break, Fergie’s men were leading the pack and looked set to secure a win.

http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 finally taking the plaudits for his superb free-kick in injury time.
United managed to beat off the reigning champions in dramatic fashion, but star forward Rooney reiterated that the win was not a one-off or a stroke of luck but it was Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752’s philosophy of never giving up that saw them claim three points at the very
end.
"There is desire and passion at the club, and under Sir Alex we never know we're beaten. It's no fluke how many games we've won late on. We know it could be in injury time or in the first minute. You've got to keep on pushing."
"It's a great day for us, to go six points clear and beat our greatest rivals, especially after what happened last year. We're going to celebrate. They've had a great record here and to spoil that is a great feeling,” Rooney was quoted as saying to the media.
