Hargreaves plays it cool
Tottenham may have gone in front during Sundays FA Cup fixture but
Owen Hargreaves insists he was never worried about the
result.
The Reds midfielder says there was no cause for alarm, despite
Robbie Keane giving the visitors the lead on 24 minutes.
I never thought wed lose the game, Hargreaves told MUTV. I
think we were just a bit unfortunate to concede a goal at the time
we did. At that point in the game I thought we had been the better
team.
"Conceding a goal made it difficult but we responded well. We knew
we had to keep playing our game and eventually wed open them
up.
It was Carlos Tevez who netted the equaliser, while Cristiano
Ronaldo bagged his 24th and 25th goals of the season to secure
Uniteds passage to the fifth round.
Youre actually surprised when he doesnt score these days!
Hargreaves said of the Portuguese winger. Its got to that level
where he scores so often.
Although United ran out 3-1 winners, the final score fails to
reflect just how close Spurs came to forcing a replay.
They had a few chances and had one that came off the post at the
end when the score was 2-1, Hargreaves said.
We were possibly careless at times but thats just a consequence
of how we play we get forward, we take chances, we always try to
score. There are good and bad points to that, but in the end I
think we deserved to win the game.
