Rooney - It's ours to lose

Wayne Rooney believes the Premier League title is now Man United's to lose after the Red Devils staged an amazing comeback against Spurs. United appeared to be heading to a defeat which would have blown the title race wide open after going two goals down at half-time to Harry Redknapp's side.But a controversial penalty decision proved the catalyst for a dramatic five goal comeback which saw United re-establish their three points lead on Liverpool, having played a game less.The victory invoked memories of United's win over Everton in April 2007 for Rooney, when the Red Devils came from two goals down to win 4-2 to go on to lift the title.Rooney, who scored in both comebacks, said: "It is ours to lose now.Great feeling"If we win it, we might look back on this game. It always gives you a great feeling to come from behind and win any game. I remember that Everton game very well."This is similar. It is a great step for us."Rooney gave special praise to Carlos Tevez, believing the Argentinean's introduction at the start of the second period was a big factor in sealing the win."The first half was really poor," admitted Rooney. "We were flat and we needed a lift.Big reason"Carlos provided it. He got the crowd up and started to find space. He was a big reason why we got the result."Rooney now believes the feel good factor created by the win can help the Red Devils against Arsenal in their UEFA Champions League tie on Wednesday."If we had not won the place might have been a bit flat but winning the way we did will give us great confidence and belief going into the Arsenal game," he said.
