Fergie: We Threw It Away

Last updated : 25 October 2008 By Sam
Darren Fletcher had given United a well-deserved 1-0 lead 22 minutes into the game at Goodison Park but United failed to build on their lead and Marouane Fellaini netted 18 minutes into the second half to earn the hosts a share of the spoils.

"We've thrown it away in a way because we've had so much control of the match," the United boss said after the 1-1 draw.

"It's disappointing to lose two points for that.

"We had good chances in the first half and we played some fantastic football.

"It was a golden spell for us and these are the times you should be capitalising, but we didn't, and we've suffered.

"I think we're playing some great football. We were maybe a bit careless in the second half and we lived to regret that.

"You have to give credit to Everton for the way they fought back and I don't think you can deny they deserved a point"
