Manchester United boss Ferguson confident his side can still win title

Sir Alex Ferguson insists his side can still win the Premier League title despite Saturday's shock 3-1 defeat at Everton. Despite taking the lead through Dimitar Berbatov, Manchester United slumped to their sixth League defeat of the season thanks to goals from Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell. Chelsea's victory at Wolves extended the Blues lead over the Old Trafford side to four points - but Ferguson says his side can still win the title.
