In football, there is very little that beats scoring a late winner against your arch-rivals.

Van Persie experienced this exact phenomenon when he netted a last minute free-kick to record a 3-2 away win at Manchester City, settling the bragging rights in the city, for the time being.

His superb set piece ended the Citizens’ unbeaten league record, plus, their unbeaten home record since the previous term.
