But it was the finish that was so good.
RVP did have a bit of a rough landing that was softened by seeing the ball in the back of the net.
Immediately after the goal, van Persie sprinted over to the sideline where he had a big high-five for his national team manager, Louis van Gaal, who is also van Persie's new manager at Manchester United.
