EAGLES DELIGHTED WITH DEBUT GOAL

Last updated : 01 May 2007 By editor

Chris Eagles, "I didn't know I was coming on. Ole went down with 10 minutes to go and the gaffer said, 'Get ready'. I can't describe what it feels like to win and to score here. Every performance for Manchester United, whether it's in the reserves or the first-team, you should always take pride in wearing the shirt.

"I just go out there to do the basics and want to help the team get a result. To be honest, I was put through on my left foot and I was going to shoot. But then my legs started slipping all over the place so I chopped it back onto my right foot. I didn't look at the goal, I just hit it and looked up to see it go around the goalkeeper.

"Scoring in front of the Stretford End would be the ultimate dream, but to do it here, at a ground like this where there is such a big rivalry, is great. Just to travel with the first team is wonderful, but to get on today and score is something I've wanted to do ever since I moved up from London at 13."
