Herrera: Man Utd badge key to EFL Cup final win

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera feels the club's badge was key to their EFL Cup final win over Southampton.

Herrera was satisfied the team pulled out all the stops, despite a tiring schedule, to score late on after relinquishing a two-goal lead.

"Southampton played very well but we have been looking for this the whole season," he told MUTV.

"How many times have we played better than our opponents and had much more chances than our opponents, but didn't win? I said that sooner or later, the goals will come and I think we were very, very clinical on Sunday.

"Sometimes, the badge wins games and this was an example of that."

He added: "At this moment, it's not very easy to beat us. We have to respect every opponent but the badge sometimes wins the game. We keep going. It's our second title of the season but it's not enough for us."
