Manchester United’s Patrice Evra believes his side deserved to lose to Arsenal: EPL news
Manchester United defender Patrice Evra believes that Arsenal deserved to walk out of Sunday’s Premier League encounter against his side with all three points. The defender claims that the 1-0 defeat for United was the right result, especially since the Red Devils performed so poorly at the Emirates Stadium.
Although they were out of the Premier League title race before the match began, Arsenal were out to prove a point against their bitter rivals. The Gunners came out all guns blazing against Manchester United, and they seemed most likely to score all throughout the first half.
Arsene Wenger’s men might have found themselves ahead as well if Nemanja Vidic’s handball in the penalty area had been spotted by referee. However, the defender got away with the foul, and the first half ended in a stalemate.
The hosts finally made the pressure tell within the first 15 minutes of the second half. The returning http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Ramsey-c3065 brought himself back in the limelight with a superb strike to give his side the lead. The tables turned after the goal, as United were determined not to walk away empty handed.
However, the visitors were ultimately unable to break down the surprisingly resilient Arsenal defence, and the Gunners held on to claim a deserved win over their arch-rivals.
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson bemoaned referee http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Foy’s failure to give his side a clear penalty late on in the match, but defender Patrice Evra believes that his side did nothing to show that they deserved something from the game.
Speaking after the match, Evra said, “We didn't play to the Manchester United way and when we don't play to the Manchester United way we don't deserve anything. Maybe against Arsenal we think it is going to be easy but we didn't make the game easy. But normally when we come to the Emirates, we play with more power and aggression and create more chances."
The French defender added, "You have to kill that game early, not wait until you concede a goal. The attitude at the beginning of the game wasn't right. That is why I was very frustrated. We didn't deserve to win."
The result has thrown the title race wide open, as second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 could conceivably overtake Manchester United if they beat the Red Devils at Old Trafford next Sunday.
