Young Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was satisfied with his Premier League debut against Manchester United yesterday and has claimed that Ji-sung Park's winning goal was a fluke.
With Lukasz Fabianski not fully fit, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger opted to choose 20-year-old Szczesny ahead of Spanish stopper Manuel Almunia , who had declared himself fit, for the Gunners' top of the table clash with Manchester United .
It was Szczesny's Premier League debut and he did little wrong in a solid performance, despite Manchester United running out 1-0 winners.
According to The Sun, Szczesny commented, "I felt that for my debut I did well enough. Unfortunately it wasn't enough for us to get any points but this is my big chance and I need to take it."
Manchester United's winner came a few minutes before the break, Ji-sung Park sending a looping header home from a deflected Nani cross.
However, Szczesny believes that Park knew little about the header, commenting "Their goal was really lucky. I don't think Park meant to head the ball, it just hit him and went in the top corner."
Arsenal will hope to recover against Stoke City at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend.
