Manchester City may complain about bad luck, but Scholes emphasized that Manchester United's victory at the last moment relied on patience and steady performance.
"We deserved to win," he said. "We had two good chances in the first half, but it was a pity that France were one or two goals ahead. Manchester City also had some chances, but I think for most of the game we were
They all had a very good defensive performance, the four defenders in the back line were all very good, and Van der Sar was also very good, and we were able to maintain the lead until the end of the game."
"We felt relaxed, and in the last 20 minutes we pressed forward hoping to score the winning goal. When the game becomes more open, you know you will always have a chance to find the goal, but most of Manchester City's were outside the penalty area.

And Gibson, before the game, Manchester United midfielder Carrick was very confident, "We will not give up, Manchester United still has half a chance to win the championship." Veteran Giggs said, "We will definitely not give up, and we will fight until the end.
Hopefully Chelsea lose points so we can have a chance to turn things around."
But in the eyes of most onlookers, the remarks of Carrick and Giggs are, at best, just to embolden themselves. More people believe that Chelsea still has hope of counterattack, but now? After Manchester United won, this almost
This means that this season's Premier League title race has entered garbage time.
Chelsea also hopes that Manchester City can cause some trouble for Manchester United, but the Londoners' wishful thinking is wrong. Manchester United will not lose to Manchester City easily.

Field ball.
Before the game, Manchester City was strongly dissatisfied with the FA's temporary change of referee. Manchester City fans were also very disgusted with the FA's move. Of course, Manchester United also criticized Atkinson's past law enforcement.
Not long after the game started, Gibson was knocked to the ground by Manchester City midfielder Barry while fighting for a header. Ferguson immediately roared at the fourth official on the sidelines, and the entire Manchester City fans sang "Get out of here, Fergie (**offferge)"
)" was very loud. But looking at the audience, Sir Alex rarely argued with the linesman. In this way

great moment.
Although Ancelotti said after the game that the championship is still in the hands of Chelsea, he also admitted that after losing to Tottenham, in fact, Chelsea has been "forced" and has no way out. Winning all three games is not enough.
With only the same points as Manchester United now, everyone knows that Chelsea's championship only exists in theory
