MATCH QUOTES

Ferguson:

"It opens the door no question about that. We always knew if we made mistakes they have got the ability to come back.

"It's a big task now.

"The injuries killed us today in the first half.

"But that was just the bad breaks you get in football, there is nothing you can do about it.

"We huffed and puffed a lot in the second, had some good opportunities in the last third of the field but needed a bit of composure.

"It (the equaliser) gave them something to hold on to and they played the containing game well in the second half.

"We are still in pole position, still in the lead but we'll have to do it the hard.

"I'm actually only playing with 12 players now, the rest are injured.

"It's an injury crisis of major proportions.

"We've got to patch up a team for this massive game on Tuesday now.

"The injuries killed us in the first half. I was hoping to get to halftime to get Rio off ... Rio was limping, he just couldn't get to it.

"Maybe if I'd taken him off it would have been OK."


Southgate:

"We wanted to have a go and our front boys were a real handful.

"They were some outstanding defensive performances as well.

"We showed real character after the worst possible start.

"We might even have pinched all three points and the longer it went on you could sense the crowd getting edgy."
