Evra unhappy with Man Utd performance in Chelsea win

Manchester United's Patrice Evra was not too happy with how the side performed in their 3-1 home win over title rivals Chelsea on the weekend.

The Red Devils were outplayed at times by the Blues, who had 21 shots on goal, but the visitors managed to score just once through Fernando Torres.

Veteran left-back Evra said the showing of United was not good enough and admits they need to improve if they want to win the title for a 20th time this season.

"Maybe I am being hard on myself but it is the first time we didn't control the game," he said.

"We have five wins. Yes, it is a good start but I always want more. I hope we control the next game against Stoke.

"We shouldn't rush things. That is why we gave the ball away too easily. That is why I am not so happy.

"We won a big game. We have scored three times against Chelsea. There are a lot of positive things.

"But when they scored the early goal in the second half I thought 'we have to be strong to make sure Chelsea back and maybe even win 4-3'.

"If we want to win the league we will have to perform better than this."
