Fergie - Football a funny game

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted his side were 'a bit fortunate' as they overcame Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The Red Devils looked to be staring defeat in the face when Spurs took a two-goal lead at Old Trafford.But referee Howard Webb's decision to award a debatable penalty handed United the momentum and they went on to record a remarkable comeback, winning the match 5-2."We were a bit fortunate but football is a funny game," said Ferguson. "You get terrible decisions. We got one last week. You have to deal with them and get on with it."BerbatovFerguson went on to reserve praise for striker Dimitar Berbatov, who netted United's fifth goal, after a difficult week for the summer signing from Tottenham."It was a fantastic performance from Berbatov," said Ferguson."I don't think he gave the ball away once. He was our best player in the first-half and in the second he produced some wonderful moments."He does things that are world class. All he has done is miss a penalty kick. It was a bad one, I make no excuses about that. But how many players have done that?"It is only a missed penalty. We have to move on."
