Rafael revels in Man Utd goalscoring form

Manchester United full-back Rafael admitted his equaliser was a crucial factor in Sunday's 2-1 win at Liverpool. "It was an important time to get the goal," said Rafael.

"It was a good moment to get it because it was so quickly after they scored. If we hadn't scored then we might have got a little bit nervous."

Amazingly, Rafael has now scored twice this season after also finding the target against Fulham last month.

"It's definitely the best goal I've scored for United," he said of his curling left-footed strike that bounced in off a post.

"I have scored four goals for United now, one with my head and two with my left foot. Maybe I am better with the left."
