Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson admitted that newly crowned Premiership champions Chelsea were worthy 3-1 winners at Old Trafford tonight.
“Once Chelsea’s second goal went in they were worthy winners," he said.
"I didn’t expect us to get second place after a disappointing result against West Brom on Saturday.
"But tonight was about trying to keep our confidence up and on the whole it was good. That is the one thing I can take out of the game."
Ferguson said he was impressed by the way both teams performed and felt it was an entertaining game.
"The tempo was fantastic and anyone watching as a neutral would be thrilled by the football played," he added.
"I thought we played some good football, the match was very competitive and it was really a game for professionals."
