Sir Alex Ferguson couldn\u2019t hide his anger at referee Martin Atkinson after watching Manchester United crash to a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils took the lead in the game through Wayne Rooney, but goals from David Luiz and a Frank Lampard penalty handed the Blues victory whilst Nemanja Vidic was sent off late on for picking up his second booking for a foul on Ramires.<\/p>\n
However, Ferguson was furious that Luiz had also not seen red after appearing to foul Rooney having already been booked.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game he said: \u201cWe played very well, it was a great performance by us, we didn\u2019t deserve that [to lose]. That\u2019s three years in a row here that referees have made decisions that have changed the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was incredible [Luiz not being sent off for a foul on Rooney], even before that he had done Chicharito off the ball, he did him late, nothing done, referee is in front of it. He did Rooney, clear as day, six yards from it, referee doesn\u2019t do anything. It changes the game. You ask me what changes the game. These are decisions that change the game and he\u2019s going to be refereeing every week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yet despite the defeat the Scot insisted he was proud of his team\u2019s performance, even though they endured only their second league defeat of the season<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud of my players, they\u2019ve endured a lot of decisions against them lately,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve carried themselves through it, done their best, created chances. They didn\u2019t deserved that.\u201d<\/p>\n
When asked whether the win could allow Chelsea back into the title race Ferguson also insisted it was entirely possible, but backed his team to recover as they head to Anfield to take on Liverpool on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cDecisions like tonight can change everything,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey got a lot of decisions tonight that surprised me, in a major game like that. There\u2019s no doubt about that.<\/p>\n
We have to gather ourselves now. When you lose a game you have to recover. Sunday [against Liverpool] is always a massive game, it\u2019ll be the same again. We have to recover and get ourselves ready for it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
