Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has recalled his stunning winner at Fulham last week.
Garnacho has reflected on his wonder goal at Craven Cottage.
“For the Fulham goal, I’d been keen to come on and we were drawing one each at the time,” he explained to club media.
“The situation in the game was just right for the counterattack, and for running at people, which is what I like to do.
“I played a one-two with Christian Eriksen and he put me in with a great pass as I ran in behind the defence and I was able to finish it off. In that moment, everything was very intense, and I could hardly believe it!”
But despite the incredible emotion of that injury-time winner – which was mirrored in a delirious United away end at Craven Cottage – Garnacho believes that his recent successes have come from thorough preparation.
“[You have to be ready] to go on and give everything,” he said. “At home I always study the full-backs and during the game itself; during the time I’m sitting on the bench.
“So I can then go on and know where and how I need to be looking to go past them.
“I analyse games and also opponents when I’m about to come up against them, so that I’ve got some background on each player to be ready for the game.”
