Mata: Beating Liverpool was happiest day of my career

Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has claimed that Sunday’s 2-1 win over Liverpool was one of the ‘happiest moments in his career’.

The Spanish midfielder has had a mixed career, having shone at La Liga side Valencia, gaining himself a place in the Spanish national side, which he played a part in their World Cup and European championship successes.

But, then having struggled to find his feet and convince Chelsea of his ability. Having moved to Manchester United two seasons back, Mata has also found form hard to find at Old Trafford.

However, three goals in his last two games, two of which came against bitter rivals Liverpool on Sunday, the midfielder is now happy with his current performances and has discussed his happiness at beating Brendan Rodgers’ side.

“Beating Liverpool at Anfield, being lucky to score two nice goals and feeling gratitude is something I will never forget, but we must be cautious: these are just three points in the race to our goal,” he told the club’s official website.

“This Sunday has been one of the happiest days of my career. Besides, the game was also important because both teams were close on the table, fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. It has been an unforgettable day for me.”
