Manchester United-Liverpool: Sir Alex Ferguson relieved to win
Sport
Boss Sir Alex Ferguson admitted his relief after Manchester United withstood a late Liverpool rally to beat their Premier League rivals 2-1.
The victory helped United stay seven points clear at the top of the table.
Ferguson said: "Some of our defending after [our lead was halved] was a bit erratic and even desperate at times.
"But we managed to get through it. The name of the game is winning. There are moments where you have to defend. This was one of them."
United had opened up a two-goal lead through Robin van Persie and Nemanja Vidic before Daniel Sturridge pulled one back for the visitors.
And Sturridge failed to convert a late chance as the home side held on for a win which maintained their advantage over second-placed Manchester City, who later won 2-0 at Arsenal.
"Manchester United-Liverpool games are fantastic challenges.
"They are the two most successful teams in the country. Today hopefully those three points will be very important."
