Manchester United<\/a> midfielder Michael Carrick<\/a> has praised QPR<\/a> goalkeeper Radek Cerny<\/a> after his side’s 2-0 victory at Loftus Road.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Red Devils dominated the match from the first minute with the veteran stopper pulling off a number of saves to keep the scoreline down.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, Carrick’s second-half goal, his first in 70 games, sealed the victory to see Sir Alex Ferguson’s side climb to the top of the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important we got the second goal, we had a lot of chances and their keeper made some fantastic saves in the first half,\u201d Carrick told Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were aware we needed that second goal to give us a cushion and after that we still had chances but this is a big three points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming but it was an important goal because we won the game and it was a good win for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wayne Rooney scored United’s opener in the first minute of the match after a fine ball from Antonio Valencia and the striker was pleased to see a clinical edge return to his side’s play today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe took our chances and to be fair their keeper has made a lot of saves so we couldn’t finish them off but we are happy with 2-0, that\u2019s what we came here to do,” Rooney said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great ball by Antonio and as a forward you try to get yourself in the position and thankfully the ball came to me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester United are currently in a race with their rivals, Manchester City, for the Premier League title, though Rooney insisted the Red Devils are only focussed on their own results.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cNo, we weren\u2019t looking at them; it was important we came here today and got the three points.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s a busy schedule over Christmas and we are taking each game as it comes and if we do our jobs we have a good chance of progressing and maybe staying there for a long time\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
