United striker insists the team comes first after Anfield draw
Javier Hernandez did not want to be cast as the hero after heading the equaliser in Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Liverpool.
The Mexican started on the bench at Anfield alongside surprise substitute Wayne Rooney, who had been taken out of the line of fire following his red card for England.
But Hernandez, who has suffered an injury-hit start to the season, went on to rescue his team after Steven Gerrard's free-kick had opened the scoring for Liverpool.
United boss Sir Alex Ferguson was full of praise for his No.14, who has now added three goals to the 20 he scored in all competitions in his debut campaign for the Old Trafford club.
But Hernandez told United's
official website: "It was a very tight game.
"I think they opened up a little bit more when the second half started, created chances and scored a goal. But then the game opened up even more and we managed to score a goal too.
Important
"The goal meant a little bit more than the last one I scored here, as we lost 3-1 that day. A lot of my team-mates have told me about the atmosphere when playing at Anfield.
"The fans are great wherever we play but here it was very special. But the most important thing is to help my team and my team-mates.
"There are no heroes in this team and we all want to help, it doesn't matter who scores the goals.
"We know it is a very important point but I don't feel like a hero. I scored the goal but United scores overall."
Hernandez also remained level-headed after his fitness problems, as he said: "I want to do my best in every game.
"Having injuries is part of the game, there are always good and bad moments, but we need to be ready, enjoy it and do my best for the team."
