Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has spoken of his delight at scoring the winner against Manchester United.The Togo international popped up with five minutes remaining to poke Cesc Fabregas' through ball past Tomasz Kuszczak.
Adebayor's strike handed The Gunners their first win of the season, without star man Thierry Henry.
Henry has been sidelined with a foot injury and Adebayor was pleased to be able to fill the void left by the Frenchman.
"I had pressure. Thierry Henry is injured and people relied on me," he told L'Equipe.
"Scoring is my job and I am happy to have achieved it."
Adebayor is enjoying life at the Emirates Stadium, having joined the club from Monaco in January.
The 22-year-old now hopes to prove he is deserving of a regular place in Arsene Wenger's starting line-up.
He added: "It is such a delight to play football in that team.
"Now I hope for an opportunity to prove my worth alongside Thierry."
