ROBIN VAN PERSIE hailed his “unbelievable” goal as he kept Manchester United on course for the title.
RVP finished off a stunning 14-pass move at Old Trafford.
He roared: “It was an unbelievable goal. It was a great combination, Michael Carrick, Danny Welbeck and Shinji Kagawa were all involved, then it went to Patrice Evra.
“He put in a really good cross… and it was a good finish as well.
“It was a great goal. It was a big game and this is a great result.”
Van Persie has now netted 21 times this season. The £22million striker’s free-kick also set up Nemanja Vidic for United’s second and the leaders hung on after Daniel Sturridge pulled one back for Liverpool.
RVP, 29, added: “We had a good first half and should have been more than 1-0 up.
“In the second half, we had to dig in and fight but we got the result we wanted.”
Van Persie’s goal was hailed by delighted boss Alex Ferguson.
He declared: “It was a great build-up, terrific football and a great finish.”
But there were injury concerns for Fergie after the game.
Ashley Young hobbled away from Old Trafford on crutches and will have a scan this morning on a knee injury.
And Vidic, who only recently returned from a knee injury, also limped off near the end. He will be assessed today.
