CLASS!

Fergie seems pretty pleased with last night's result and is full of praise for Seba.

'That was world class. 'You will not see a better goal than that in Europe tonight.'

'He is not a renowned finisher but you can only admire something like that.

'It took some audacity just to try it. A lot of players would have blasted it or taken it round the goalkeeper. He took the difficult option of chipping him. It was a phenomenal bit of skill.'

And on the return to action and form of Paul Scholes

'Mentally Paul didn't come to terms with that role last season,'

'He does look far more comfortable now and he adds another dimension to our game which we need.

'He needed the game at Charlton on Saturday and although he got a little ankle knock tonight, he will be okay for the match with Everton on Monday.'

It's not all good news though

'Ruud was not rested. He is not fit.'

'We have to be careful that we don't overdo it with him. It is a tight hamstring rather than a pull but he will have a lot of exercise between now and Monday and hopefully he will be fit by then.'

Olympiakos coach Takis Lemonis isn't a very happy man

'At two goals down and with only 10 men, it was always going to be pretty difficult,' he said. 'We were poor in the second phase areas but it is easy to criticise.

'We knew what we were up against before the start and now we just have to try and put it behind us.'
