Man Utd attacker Antony: Liverpool goal a big career moment

Manchester United attacker Antony admits his goal against Liverpool was a big career moment.

Antony's strike brought the score to 2-2 and took the FA Cup quarterfinal into extra-time which United eventually won 4-3.

"It was a very important goal, it gave us the chance to go to extra-time and try to win," the Brazilian told manutd.com, referring to a first goal at Old Trafford for over a year.

“Personally, it was a very important moment for me, I needed that goal. At no point did I stop thinking about it and working.

“It's games like this that show our values and I believe this will motivate everyone for the season. It was a game that we had to help in every way and I managed to score the equaliser.

“I have also been training my right leg, to make it better and I have done my best to help in the defence, acting as a winger.

“It was a time for everyone to donate, whatever their position. We came together there and achieved an incredible turnaround."
