The Scot has hailed the club’s ability to grind out results when things don’t go their way and also reserved special praise for a special goal.
Ewood Park had a tremendous atmosphere last night and the energetic Blackburn fans surely had a reason to celebrate as the held the reigning champions for almost 80 minutes.
However as clock ticked on, it wasn’t United who began to cave under the pressure of keeping their place at the summit of the Premier League, it was the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385, who knew that a goal was forth coming.
And in the 80th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Antonio-Valencia-c6345 provided that bit of magic to turn around things on a typical Lancashire night.
The Ecuadorian, who is currently in the form of his life, cut outside on the right-flank and then went on to unleash an unstoppable shot that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Robinson-c29389 could hardly even see, let alone stop.
Ashley Young continued where his fellow teammate left off and in the 86th minute, produced a sublime yet inch-perfect effort from outside the box that nestled in the bottom left corner.
Fergie’s men walked with the three points yet again and this time having secured a five point lead at the top, which surely means that the title race is all but in their favour.
It was perhaps because of this that the former Aberdeen boss was ecstatic after the win, which according to him was typical United, as they secured victory right at the end.
"Coming so late in the game, it is an important goal. It typifies the history of the club. If you don't try to shoot, you're never going to find out if you can score like that. There was amazing power on it. It could have been a cross, could have been a
shot, but it doesn't matter. There was great power [on the attempt]."
“Wayne [Rooney] had a good free-kick saved by the goalkeeper, and there was a lot of great crosses by Antonio that weren't finished off. We always had them under the cosh, but we had to be careful of their counter-attack. They were dangerous at that point,”
the tactician said.
United next game is at home to QPR on Sunday, but the Red Devils will also be monitoring Manchester City, who take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 on the same day.
