Go parsing time string

I currently have the following date string

May 21 2016, 21:47:08 CEST

So I want to parse it. I tried the following

time, err := time.Parse("Jan 2 2006, 15:04:05 MST", date)

But I am getting the following error

parsing time "May 21 2016, 21:47:08 CEST" as "Jan 2 2006, 15:04:05 CEST": cannot parse " 21 2016, 21:47:08 CEST" as " "

I think I have checked that all the values are correct on the layout.

You can compare the two strings (the one that won't work, and where you type the "same" string in manually) and you can see there's a difference. The string that doesn't work uses A0 (hex) non-breaking space, while the one that works uses the regular space 20 (hex).

You can see it in the playground: https://play.golang.org/p/6UIEKg9hs0
