FERGIE - FLATTERED

Last updated : 08 October 2002 By editor

Fantastic game

"I have to say that's probably one of the best games I've seen here for many a day. That was a fantastic game of football."

Everton's performance

"Credit to Everton. That's the best Everton side that's been here for years. They came here with fantastic belief in themselves. Their front players were a handful all night and we had to really perform well to win that game."

United's performance

"We had some fantastic passing movements and some of our attacking movements were terrific but our finishing wasn't great. We got to the byeline about three or four times and maybe made the wrong decision but we kept frittering those chances away and that kept them in the game. Every time they had a counter-attack towards the last twenty minutes, it was a real threat. so it was a fantastic game."

Fair reflection?

"That wasn't a 3-0 scoreline. No, that was a false scoreline and it doesn't tell the story. It was a great game of football."
