With Wayne Rooney ruled out through injury and Danny Welbeck consigned to his 
  sick bed, Hernandez was handed striking responsibilities. 
</p></div><div class="secondPar">
<p>
It looked like being a frustrating afternoon for the Mexican, who failed to 
  convert two clear chances to give <strong><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/">United</a></strong> 
  a priceless victory. 
</p></div><div class="thirdPar">
<p>
However, his luck changed in the final minute when he beat the Newcastle 
  offside trap to reach Michael Carrick's cross and seal a dramatic 4-3 win 
  with his 10th goal of the season. 
</p></div><div class="fourthPar">
<p>
Now into his third season at Old Trafford, the 24-year-old has rediscovered 
  the form that earned him a Champions League starting berth and 20 goals in 
  his first. 
</p></div><div class="fifthPar">
<p>
However, Robin van Persie's arrival means those coveted spots in Sir Alex 
  Ferguson's team are harder to come by.

"Ask any player in the world and they will tell you they want to play 
  every game," Hernandez said. 
</p>
<p>
"But the competition here is incredible. It is the biggest club in the 
  world. You need to be aware there are five strikers who want to be part of 
  the games. 
</p>
<p>
"I have to prove, in one minute or 90, that I want to start." 
</p>
<p>
Hernandez accepts he will never enjoy the perfect game, hence his refusal to 
  let a couple of misses play mental havoc before he scored the goal that sent 
  United seven points clear in the title race. 
</p>
<p>
"I didn't have those things in my mind," he said. "You cannot 
  afford to regret every chance you miss because if you do you will never be 
  concentrated for the next opportunity. 
</p>
<p>
"You are never going to play the perfect game. You will never score five 
  goals from five opportunities. 
</p>
<p>
"That is the beauty of football. The most important thing was the win 
  because here there are no heroes. 
</p>
<p>
"It doesn't matter if I score in the last minute or we score four goals. 
  We won and Manchester City lost. That is very good news."
