The veteran tactician claimed that the officials had gotten their decision against Newcastle United wrong yesterday and that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085’ own goal shouldn’t have stood.
Billed as a potential cracker on Boxing day, Manchester United’s clash with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alan-c4244 Pardew’s men proved to be a goal-soaked affair with both sides going out for an all-scale attack.
Eventually, the Red Devils came out on top after showcasing some fine football throughout the ninety minutes, but the Magpies themselves were in imperious form.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 was out injured. However, the duo proved their abilities to the manager and found the back of the net to seal three points for the hosts.
James Perch gave Newcastle the lead inside five minutes, but Jonny Evans scored twice, once for United and once for the Tyneside giants to hand back the incentive to the visitors.
While the attackers were seemingly not on song, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 showcased his eye for quality and notched his fourth goal of the campaign with a coolly taken shot from the outside the box.
Papiss Cisse’s goal handed the lead back to Newcastle but efforts from Van Persie and Hernandez eventually sealed the win late on.
Sir Alex was pleased with the result, but claimed that Evans’ own goal should not have been given, as Cisse was in an offside position when it was scored and his pressure caused the Irish International to divert the ball into his own net.
“The referee changed the linesman’s mind. He said it was an own goal. But if you see it again, and the referee can’t, the guy is in an offside position, then he pulls Evans’ arm. If that is not interfering what is? I think it was a bad decision,” added the
former Aberdeen boss.
“That performance tells you about the courage of our team. We had a lot of bad decisions against us in the first-half. That could have demoralised the team. But they didn’t give in. That is the great quality they have,” Ferguson was quoted as saying while
speaking to the media.
