In this division, we won't get too many days like that.[LNB]'Hopefully we will get the performances, but certainly chances to score six goals against the likes of Aston Villa don't come around too often.[LNB]'Yes, it's very much about getting feet very firmly on the ground. We are away from home in our next game and we expect it will be very, very tough.[LNB]'But you can't be in this division and get the scoreline we have without wanting to enjoy it, and we will certainly spend the rest of the day enjoying it.'[LNB]The win came on the day Manchester United were held 2-2 at Fulham, as Sir Alex Ferguson hit out at his team for missing a penalty that would have made it 3-1.

Inthe last game we played against Tottenham at home Ryan scored two penalty kicks and Nani was on the pitch the same day. To miss a penalty to make it 3-1, you're throwing two points away. But I thought Fulham deserved a point.' [LNB]Paul Scholes scored his 150th goal for United after 10 minutes but Simon Davies drew Fulham level. [LNB]Fergusonadded: 'Once again it was an outstanding performance from Scholes. It'sjust disappointing we didn't ram home the advantage.'
