Owen's career highlight settles derby

Mon, 21 Sep 14:30:52 2009

Michael Owen admits his injury-time winner at Old Trafford against Manchester City will go down as one of his career highlights.

Owen struck in the sixth minute of added time to settle one of the most dramatic Manchester derbies as United triumphed 4-3 after a quite extraordinary contest which they led on three occasions.

"It is probably one of the moments I will reflect on as a highlight of my career," said England's fourth highest goalscorer.

"To score a goal as dramatic as that in a derby was amazing.

"You had to see it to believe it. It must have been one of the best televised games of all time."

That is not to say Owen is getting carried away. The victory might have brought United three precious points and ended City's 100% record, but the former Liverpool star is already looking ahead to Wednesday's Carling Cup encounter with Wolves.

"We don't want our heads in the clouds," he said.

"We are at Manchester United. We are expected to win games. We have another game on Wednesday, so we need our feet to be firmly back on the ground."

  18. Only the names. Try again the whole format of the­ tournament has changed you absolute idiot.
    Come and­ mouth off on here when uv won more than 3 trophies in­ 15 seasons. Uz are no longr the best team in England­ deal with it. You are a shadow of the former Liverpool­ and now live in the shadow of united. The most exciting­ that has happened for Liverpool in about 20 years was­ beating us twice in a season.
    So please again how many­ times have uz won the premiership and champions­ league?
    The answer would be 0 and 1.
