Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed today's encounter between
Manchester United and Arsenal as the best game of the
season.
United came from behind to snatch a win and heap the
pressure on Chelsea ahead of their clash with Wigan at
Stamford Bridge tomorrow.
"I thought we were nervous, I thought our passing was
poor, I thought the confidence and the way we expressed
ourselves was poor. I couldn’t wait for half-time. I had
Anderson and Tevez to come on and when Arsenal scored
it forced my hand. I thought we were fantastic after that.
"Wayne could have had a hat-trick, we played some good
football and Arsenal had some good moments themselves.
It was just an incredible game.
"I watched the Liverpool-Arsenal match on Tuesday night
and thought it was fantastic. But the quality of that game
today was absolutely outstanding. You’ll not get a better
game this year."
Sir Alex revealed before this match that Middlesbrough
away last week had been marked on his card as a potential
banana skin. And he surely had this fixture circled in red for
danger as well.
"We’ve got over a nervous day today. We knew Arsenal are
such a good team and there's been nothing between the
clubs in the games we've played over the years.
"So that was a big, big game for us today and we’ve come
through that. It was a bit nervy at times but we’ve come
through it.
"We’ve got a week’s rest now so we can freshen up the
players before Blackburn away. It’s a local derby and it’s
always hard and then we’ve got Chelsea at Chelsea.
"I said (last week) if we won our next three games we’d
win the league. We’ve won one of them, we’ve got two to go.
If we win our next two games, we’re champions."
