Owen: I Ran Faster When Celebrating City Goal Than Scoring It

February 11, 2011 39 Comments

Michael Owen has reflected on the home derby last season when he scored an injury time winner to beat City 4-3.

“Scoring the winner in the derby last season was one of those moments where the adrenaline takes over and everything goes blank,” Owen told the official site. “You literally have to wait until you get home and watch the replay to see how you reacted. Your mind goes blank and you do everything on instinct. I had no idea how I celebrated or who I celebrated with. Actually, I was looking at all my Prozone stats a few days after the game – they tell you how many passes you’ve made, how far you’ve run and track all the sprints you do during a game. My fastest sprint during that match was actually while I was celebrating the winner. I’m not sure if that’s something to be proud of, but I found it quite amusing [laughs]! It was the adrenaline…”

    Unbelievable game last season. The ground was shaking after that micky late winner. I was convinced rios sloppiness had cost us the game late on. Still have nightmares about his casual flicked ball out of defence.

    It is a must win game for us. As much as Rio is a massive loss the midfield is critical for this game..they must step-up and help both the attack and the defence.

    Willierednut. To true mate. But honestly think they will add a 4th star to the crest
    if they make the champions league places. 4th place is worth a star in’it?

    @King Eric

    Tell me about the Rio flick man. Shocker. I couldn’t sleep for a few days. Massive game-it’s funny how I still punch my fist in the air watching that last minute winner,lol. It was an incredible feeling at OT that day.

    While everyone loves those sort of exciting games, I’d actually be more than glad to get a boring win. :D

    United Brethren!

    Today, we stand on the shoulders of the Busby Babes. With the Munich souls in our heart and their last breath in our lungs, we will fight for every blade of grass. We do not cede to mercenaries, assassins, or noisy neighbors. It doesn’t matter if we are owned by Satan, Glazers, or Mother Theresa because we do not play in the present. We are a club with a strong history and we do not forget. We are Manchester United Football Club. After today, we will be one step closer to title number 19 and City Banner 36.

    BELIEVE!!

    Glory Glory Man United!

    That United fan in the Fan-Zone video is a paid actor. He’s from Urmston and is not a football fan. He lives in London now.

    not surprised. Lil Mickey looked all sleepy coming off the bench (wily thing, probably his game plan to make Micah Richards forget all about him), but that goal sure as hell woke him up!!!
